[Pkg-exim4-users] Using Debian's macros for hosts_lists

[Johann Spies]

How would you do the following using Debian's macros:

deny    hosts = \
    !146.232.48.3    : !146.232.48.2    : !146.232.49.2  :\
    !146.232.49.9    : 146.232.48.0/23  : 146.232.212.0/23:\
    !146.232.196.2   : !146.232.196.10 : !146.232.197.238 :\
    !146.232.197.237 : !146.232.197.10 : !146.232.196.52: \
    146.232.196.0/23 :


As I understand it one cannot use negation in
/etc/exim4/acl_whitelist_deny and /etc/exim4/acl_blacklist_deny or
similar files.


In the process of setting up new Debian mail servers I was hoping to
make full use of Debian's setup, but found the usage of macros
confusing despite the Debian-exim documentation about the usage of
macros.

The many 'ifdef's  make the configuration very difficult to read.

Regards
Johann
