By default, Exim looks up host names in the DNS. Unless your hostmaster
has set up a localhost zone, this won't work. You probably want to turn on
the gethostbyname option. (However creating a localhost zone is good for
reducing bogus traffic on the root nameservers.)
hosts Use: smtp Type: string list* Default: unset
[...] Host names are looked up either by searching directly for
address records in the DNS or by calling "gethostbyname()" (or
"getipnodebyname()" when available), depending on the setting of the
"gethostbyname" option.
gethostbyname Use: smtp Type: boolean Default: false
If this option is true when the "hosts" and/or "fallback_hosts" options
are being used, names are looked up using "gethostbyname()" (or
"getipnodebyname()" when available) instead of using the DNS. Of course,
that function may in fact use the DNS, but it may also consult other
sources of information such as /etc/hosts.
