I think you misunderstood, or looked at the error without reading the
first paragraph. =) They are pointing their MX records to the machine by
IP address, *not* by a hostname. This is obviously not standard (I have
never seen anyone do this), and Exim does not like it, and thus reports
the hosts are non-existant.

What I am trying to do is change this behavior in Exim in general, not
just by this specific host. If one person did it, I am sure others are and
we just don't know about it yet.
