Using outside values in a Portfile tcl

It’s already trivially easy to find, and only appears in four configuration files anyway. As you can see in the Portfile, these variables are just used for sed substitutions of strings like @HOST@ in the template files. Searching the port files shows you exactly where these appear:

find /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/macports/release/tarballs/ports/mail/mail-server/files/ -type f -exec fgrep -l @HOST@ {} ';' | wc -l
       4

Again, I recommend focusing on the actual configuration of the deployed mail server, not the MacPorts example configuration, unless you see something wrong or insecure with the example configuration.
