rejected [C06.5] IP host name invalid for normal mail server.

The test in Exim is

deny    message       = [C06.5]  Msg6 Msg2
        hosts         = ^.*[a].?[d].?[s].?[l]*


and is intended to reject mail from mail servers having 'adsl' in the
host name of their connection. 'olga.hinterlands.org' clearly does not
have 'adsl' but does have 'ads' so I am changing the test to

        hosts         = ^.*[a].?[d].?[s].?[l].?


I thought, mistakenly perhaps, .? means none or only 1 ambiguous
character.
