Cool.

You are going to need a reverse DNS lookup for that IP address before
that goes away. If you have reverse DNS for all zones you have control
over you'll notice your linux box speeding up.

This isn't really an exim problem either. You need to add a qualifying
domain to your resolve.conf (or whatever your distrobution requires)
like..
Search fulldomain.ext
Nameserver 127.0.0.1 192.168.32.42
Of course for all this, you have to be running your own named server.
