Searching address in a "partial" list

Hi all!

I need to check if the given address is in a "block list".
The problem is, that the list can contains part of addresses, too, eg:

test@tester.de
test
tester.de

so that a lookup for blah@tester.de must match.
I really don't know how to do that. Any suggestion?

I found that:

condition = ${if
match{$acl_m_fromad}{/etc/exim4/lists/block.senders}{yes}{no}}

but it does not work... :(

Can someone help me?

Thanks

Are you allowed to (mass-) edit this file before use?
You could turn the lines into RE's and use nwildlsearch:

^test@tester\.de
^test
^tester\.de

Unfortunately not, since the file must be used for other checks, too...
But I found a solution:

${if match_address{$acl_m_fromad}{+blocked_senders}{yes}{no}}

acl_m_fromad is a variable with the adress taken from Header FROM.
It works... ;)
