Many thanks for the confirmation. However, further investigation
shows that it is the manualroute router that is causing attempts to
send to localhost:465 to be deferred. The "remote host address is the
local host" message appears to be generated from rf_self_action() in
routers/rf_self_action.c.
Exim knows the ports on which it is listening so could identify that
using localhost:465 is not talking directly to itself.
Is an "allow_localhost" option also needed in the router?
