I did not manage to make exim4 work with dnsdb lookups. :-(

However, it works with a horrible hack :

route_list = * ${readfile{/usr/local/etc/exim/smarthosts}{}}

The "smarthosts" file is generated by a script called by cron every
day, which asks the DNS for our MXs.


Thanks for your tip anyway.


PS : further archive reading showed me that what I am searching for is
the "bydns_mx" directive which is available only in Exim3...
