If your kernel has ipv6 capablity and exim, and your resolver are
compiled with v6 support ... and even more so if you have ::1 as an
alias for localhost in /etc/hosts ...

Philip sent me this some months back - I have it in my rbl lookups
section in exim4 to avoid trying rbl lookups for v6 hosts.

condition = ${if
match{${mask:$sender_host_address/0}}{${mask:::0/0}}{no}{yes}}
