+allow_unknown is confusing in Exim 3. (I think it even confused me in
my previous answer.)
Without +allow_unkown, Exim denies access if it can't find a host name
when it needs one. So in the case of an option that denies, such as
host_reject_recipients, you do NOT want to set +allow_unknown if you
want to reject recipients without reverse DNS.
I'll repeat it just to be sure: +allow_unknown does NOT mean "include
unknown in this set of hosts". It DOES mean "allow access for unknown".
