Thanks for the extra debug statements. They helped me realize what a
twat I'm being. I've been making all my changes to configure.test and
then running

    exim -V ${eximcfg} -d 9 -bh X.X.X.X


When the debug stuff showed me that my lookup wasn't a net- lookup, I
grew suspicious and provided the path to my exim configure file
directly, without using the environment variable. Everything worked as
expected. :-)

For the last 4 hours, the eximcfg shell variable has pointed to my live
configure file, not configure.test. *grrr*

Sorry to waste [1] your time (again!).

Thanks,
Sheldon.

[1] Not entirely wasted, since I got something out of it, but doubtless
    it was time you would rather not have spent helping some idiot track
    down stupid invocation. :-)
