I note that the configure.default file shipped with exim-4.14 has
dnslookup:
driver = dnslookup
domains = ! +local_domains
transport = remote_smtp
ignore_target_hosts = 0.0.0.0 : 127.0.0.0/8
no_more
Adding 0.0.0.0 to ignore_target_hosts on my dnslookup router
causes my "exim -bv marcus_jones@???" to fail verification:
marcus_jones@??? failed to verify:
all relevant MX records point to non-existent hosts
Seems that exim does get this right as long as we don't interfere ?
