plain wrong, to say the least.

the fact that exim, when it is given literal ip addresses in the conf
n stuff, does not want them to be enclosed in square brackets, does
not mean that an address like that (that is, without square brackets)
is right. it's not. such an address does not exist. it's not an
address, per se. period.

i didn't follow the thread, but this might be the answer to chris'
question. foo@1.2.3.4 <- this _does_ need dns. to
shortcut the results, this needs dns to tell you to get lost :)
foo@??? <- this needs it to a somewhat lesser extent ;>, and
might even be deliverable.
