yes. i know. that's why i always put the word ip in parentheses. Since this a
lookup in relay_from_hosts exim should not alter the adress it looks up. And
at the beginning and at the end of the connection the ip is output correctly.
Just for the lookup in the relayhosts it is altered. That is strange. That's
all i complain about;-)
