Agreed. But if a site is not listed in one of the first two entries then I
would expect it to hit the +allow_unknown and exim accept the site (i.e. from
the policy checking flow charts on manual pages 202/203, the HRR flag would
not be set). This doesn't seem to happen. The site is rejected. If I move the
+allow_unknown to the top then its okay. If I move it above the
'partial0-lsearch;TABLES/banned/hosts-allow' then its okay. But if I leave it
where it is - after the lsearch lookup - it fails. It seems a lookup causes
the flag to be set somehow (or at least that's the effect).
