Odd, but I'm afraid it doesn't seem to me to be a sufficiently serious
problem for me to spend time on it for Exim 3. In Exim 4 I see
09:23:53 SMTP syntax error in "rcpt to:ph10@???" H=[::1]:34563 domain literals not allowed
on the log. Ah. Wait a minutes, that's because I have got logging turned
on for SMTP syntax errors. If there is a switch for that in Exim 3 (I
can't remember when it was invented) then that is the way to get this
logged. Exim treats it as a syntax error.
