Your thought was right, but not far enough. A setting like the above
looks up the host *name* in the file. It does say this in the manual. If
you want to look up a network number, you can do this in 3.00, by
something like
host_accept_relay = net24-cdb;/usr/local/.....
If the incoming caller is 1.2.3.4 (say), then the key that is looked up
is "1.2.3.4/24". If you want to look up just a single IP address, then
the width value should be 32. See 4th bullet point in section 7.16 of
the 3.00 manual (top of page 44 in the printed edition).
