Hm. And how does my operating systems name service differentiate
between called by a daemon (exim -bd -q10m) vs. called by some command
line (exim -bt ...) program?
It's definitivly *not* the resolution of the ldap servers name, since I
see traffic on port 636 in both cases.
The only difference I can see, is, that the daemon probably does the
lookup running as unprivileged user while my command line address test
doesn't change it's privileges. But I tested the command line (-bt)
running as `mail' and it still succeedes.
