Yes, by "4.6" I meant 4.60.
I am 100% certain that the whitelist_hosts file contained around a dozen 1, 2
and 3 octet entries at the top of the file on my server running exim 4.60. I
am also 100% certain that wildcard entries which followed the 1, 2 and 3 octet
entries at the top of the file were not ignored.
If it helps, here is the whole greylisting section in exim.conf from 4.60:
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# Check greylisting status for this particular peer/sender/recipient.
#
# Note that we do not greylist messages with NULL sender, because
# sender callout verification would break (and we might not be able
# to send mail to a host that performs callouts).
#
defer
message = $sender_host_address is not yet authorized to deliver mail \
from <$sender_address> to <$local_part@$domain>. \
If your message is rejected please report it at \
http://www.espmail.co.uk/contact-us
log_message = greylisted
domains = +local_domains : +relay_domains
!senders = : postmaster@*
!hosts = : +relay_hosts : \
${if exists {/etc/greylistd/whitelist-hosts}\
{/etc/greylistd/whitelist-hosts}{}}
set acl_m9 = $sender_host_address $sender_address $local_part@$domain
set acl_m9 = ${readsocket{/var/run/greylistd/socket}{$acl_m9}{5s}{}{}}
condition = ${if eq {$acl_m9}{grey}{true}{false}}
delay = 20s
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
On my server running exim 4.76 this section is identical.
The string ignore_defer does not exist in exim.conf on either server.
