           Summary: configure.default contains outdated default
                    relay_from_hosts
           Product: Exim
           Version: N/A
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: bug
          Priority: medium
         Component: Documentation
        AssignedTo: nigel@???
        ReportedBy: exim-dev@???

The configure.default file contains:
hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1

This was fine, before IPv6 became more widespread. With IPv6, a "localhost"
connection to Exim could end up not being included in relay_from_hosts.

The minimal change would be to add ::1 to the list:
hostlist relay_from_hosts = <; 127.0.0.1 ; ::1
but I don't know how that does in an Exim built without IPv6 support.

The more correct change might be:
hostlist    relay_from_hosts = @[]


Ie, relay for any of our own IP addreses and stop hard-coding assumptions which
might break if IPv6 support is not compiled in.
