Eh? Sorry, I clearly confused you. I wasn't referring to anything in
Exim. The poster had a mail problem, and I ran a private script of mine
that does DNS checks for MX and A records. It showed that he had an MX
which pointed to a domain without an A record, and I pointed this out.
In fact, the domain _did_ have an AAAA record. I just hadn't got round
to upgrading my personal script (I now have).
As far as I know, Exim works just fine in this situation. It looks for
both A and AAAA records, and uses whichever it finds.
