Subject: [exim] exim and mailman - performance issues and obsolete variable?

Hello,

I am quite sure that mailman FAQ is a bit outdated with regard to exim.
Taken from
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.011.htp

* Configure your MTA to not do DNS verifies on receipt from localhost. Most
MTAs default to doing verifies by default. Leaving that turned on will slow
delivery rates from mailman to your MTA significantly, especially for
larger lists.

EXIM

In Exim, the value to edit is receiver_verify_hosts. See
README.EXIM in the Mailman distribution, or
http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman.html for details.

I do not think there is such an option like receiver_verify_hosts anymore.
Is relay_from_hosts equivalent of this option now? I'd like to notify
Mailman developers to update their FAQ.

Thank you!
