Exim queue handling: allow alphanumeric ACL names

[dominik schramm]

Binary package hint: mailscanner

Ubuntu release: 8.04
Source package: mailscanner 4.58.9-2ubuntu1

Starting with Exim version 4.64, ACL variables can have (almost) arbitrary alphanumeric names -- e.g. "acl_m_blahblah", in which case the queue file will contain these lines:

-aclm _blahblah 5
hello

See http://docs.exim.org/current/spec_html/ch40.html#SECTaclvariables

If such a variable is in use in a message, it will not be handled by MailScanner. Other messages are not affected by this bug. This bug is also in the upstream MailScanner version and has not been fixed yet (as of v4.70.7-1).

The next upstream release will contain a fix for this, probably even the one added as bug attachment above.
