Setting
local_domains_include_host_literals
works for me in the simple case. This has the effect of adding
"[your-hosts-ip]" to the local_domains setting. You can check this out
by running
exim -bP local_domains
which will show you what it has done. Also, make sure you have _not_ set
forbid_domain_literals
... but you mention a virtual domain driver. Hmm. Exim doesn't really
treat IP literals differently from any other domain, so I suppose it
would do that if you are looking up all local domains in some file. You
might need to pick off that domain specially.
