Subject: [Exim] Problems with hosts_treat_as_local in exim 4.12
It seems like hosts_treat_as_local is not able to reference
named lists correctly, because I tried to be smart in
our Exim 4.12 setup and set:

    hosts_treat_as_local = +local_domains


referencing the domain list which includes some virtual
domains and wildcard patterns. This resulted in a problem
where the exim server was a secondary MX and the primary
MX was down (it continuously delivered the mail to itself
until it detected the loop and bounced the mail).

When setting the same domainlist directly as an argument
to hosts_treat_as_local everything worked properly.

Is this a bug or simply undocumented behaviour?
