           Summary: "MX points to IP address" not being detected
           Product: Exim
           Version: 4.63
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: bug
          Priority: medium
         Component: Lookups
        AssignedTo: ph10@???
        ReportedBy: anomie@???
         QAContact: exim-dev@???



The problem is that some implementations of res_search() will recognize
"A-for-A" queries and return the IP address, rather than returning
HOST_NOT_FOUND as Exim seems to expect.

I actually noticed this when trying out the test harness, test #0145 was
failing on me by accepting the address.

I will attach a patch momentarily.
