The Exim 4 spec says this:

 .   If the pattern is an IP address followed by a slash and a mask length
     (for example 10.11.42.0/24), it is matched against the IP address of the
     subject host under the given mask. The mask uses CIDR notation; it
     specifies the number of address bits that must match, starting from the
     most significant end of the address.

Suggestions as to how to say that in words of fewer syllables??? :-)
