Not quite sure what an "unqualified IP address is". Do you mean "an IP
address for which there is no reverse DNS entry"?

Anyway, the behaviour below is quite consistent with that.

So 160.92.120.97 has a reverse DNS entry. Fine. Exim can find a host
name, so it can proceed with the host_reject_recipients test.

So 62.4.76.141 could not be looked up in the DNS.

You have an address lookup for the same reason as before - you have
something in host_reject_recipients that is not an IP address. Therefore
Exim has to find the host name before it can proceed.

Hmm. But +allow_unknown should have let it proceed... but ...

That's the wrong way round. I would have expected that to be the case
with +allow_unknown, not without it. Are you sure these last two
examples are the correct way round?
