9. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
ignore_target_hosts.
+10. There are four new variables called $spool_space, $log_space,
+ $spool_inodes, and $log_inodes. The first two contain the amount of free
+ space in the disk partitions where Exim has its spool directory and log
+ directory, respectively. (When these are in the same partition, the values
+ will, of course, be the same.) The second two variables contain the numbers
+ of free inodes in the respective partitions.
+
+ NOTE: Because disks can nowadays be very large, the values in the space
+ variables are in kilobytes rather than in bytes. Thus, for example, to
+ check in an ACL that there is at least 50M free on the spool, you would
+ write:
+
+ condition = ${if > {$spool_space}{50000}{yes}{no}}
+
+ The values are recalculated whenever any of these variables is referenced.
+ If the relevant file system does not have the concept of inodes, the value
+ of those variables is -1. If the operating system does not have the ability
+ to find the amount of free space (only true for experimental systems), the
+ space value is -1.
