Subject: [exim] manualroute router does not accept localhost
Hello list,

According to the spec, the route_list option on manualroute router
contains a host list. In section 10.9, the spec indicates that host
lists specifically use gethostbyname().

I have the router like this

smtp_intern_kolab:
driver = manualroute
domains = +local_domains
transport = remote_smtp_10024
route_list = * localhost byname
ignore_target_hosts = 0.0.0.0 : 127.0.0.0/8
self = send
no_more

and in my /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

But when I try to send a mail the following error occurs:

2005-07-05 08:37:03 1DpgtS-0003jb-Ci no IP address found for host
localhost.localdomain
2005-07-05 08:37:03 1DpgtS-0003jb-Ci == tom@??? R=smtp_intern_kolab defer
(-1): lookup of host "localhost.localdomain" failed in smtp_intern_kolab router

I cannot create a dns entry for localhost.
