I'm afraid you have got into a chicken/egg loop here. You don't want to
do a reverse host lookup for certain hosts. However, you have specified
those hosts by a partial-lsearch of the name of the host. In order to
find the name of the host for the partial-lsearch, Exim has to do a
reverse lookup to find the name.
So it is doing a reverse lookup in order to find out whether it should
do a reverse lookup...
It only makes sense to specify the exempt hosts by IP address.
