I have added 0.0.0.0 to the ignore_target_hosts setting in the default
configuration.
I must admit that I hadn't realized that 0.0.0.0 should generally be
interpreted as "self". Exim relies on dynamically finding all the
host's interfaces for deciding what is "self".
Should I force it always to recognize 0.0.0.0 as "self"?
