Which one would you recommend? (Yes, I've read "6.2 An lsearch file is
not an item list".)
Performance is probably a little bit better with the lsearch and I do
not need the "features" of a item list lookup, so I think I'll use the
lsearch thing.

That's the thing I failed about. I saw in the debug mode Exim splitting
at the ; and escaping with backslash didn't work. Some of Exim's
concepts need a little to get used to.

/etc/host.conf in a standard Linux setup, I think.


PS: Do you have read my original posting? Maybe you know a method to set
the IP address of the delivering processes.
