Recently I played around with the new string expansion features of Smail3.1 and I noticed that a lot of variables are not subject to string expansion, especially the ones I needed mostly. Can someone provide me with a list of variables that are being expanded (file lookups, conditionals, etc..) by Smail? I understand that full expansion features is tricky with variables like config_file, method_dir, transport_file, etc. But why are not all variables in the actual transports/routers/directors being expanded? Too much work? Let me tell you one of the goals I have: based on the $sender_host I want to assign a different value to the "path" or the "method" attribute of the smart_host router. oli -- Oliver Boehmer, Frankfurt - Germany oli@odb.rhein-main.de "...make -k all to compile everything in the core distribution.
