Yes, I understand it's better with ip and host for specific problem, but
I just wanted to know if my acl is good or if I messed an option in the
configuration file in order to manage failed reverse ip in my acl.
This is full log :

statement skipped: condition test deferred: host lookup deferred for

I'm a little newbie with exim and don't see exactly where to search to
tell my acl to consider failed reverse dns as if there were no reverse
dns at all ... beacause I think that's the problem in the error log.

Thanks.
