Ha ha ha ha!
Why do they always say that? ;)

How can I detect this with a filter? I want to bug the hell out of
the mail admin that does this stupid thing, but still deliver to their
domain.

It'll say something like what the error says to me "It looks like you
have an IP address in your MX record on $domain. Please read $url"

And $url will be a page on exim.org (hopefully) that will contain the
needed parts of the RFCs and a few paragraphs to explain what they
mean.

Maybe this can be put in the default config file (commented out, of
course but there still for the exim admin that wants to do so.)?
