You mean Exim not accepting '192.168.0/24'? "Works as documented", so it
cannot be a bug I'd say, as the spec says in 10.11:
"If the pattern is an IP address followed by a slash and a mask length
(for example 10.11.42.0/24), it is matched against the IP address of the
subject host under the given mask."
'192.168.0' is not an IP address, so Exim does not parse the expression as
a network. It could handle it more gracefully or signal an error, of
course. But I didn't really understand what the $OP said Exim does with
the above entry ("does not work" is the worst possible error description).
