-If you have name lookups or wildcarded host names and IP addresses in the same
-host list, you should normally put the IP addresses first. For example, in an
-ACL you could have:
-.code
-accept hosts = 10.9.8.7 : *.friend.example
-.endd
-The reason for this lies in the left-to-right way that Exim processes lists.
-It can test IP addresses without doing any DNS lookups, but when it reaches an
-item that requires a host name, it fails if it cannot find a host name to
-compare with the pattern. If the above list is given in the opposite order, the
-&%accept%& statement fails for a host whose name cannot be found, even if its
-IP address is 10.9.8.7.
-
-If you really do want to do the name check first, and still recognize the IP
-address, you can rewrite the ACL like this:
-.code
-accept hosts = *.friend.example
-accept hosts = 10.9.8.7
-.endd
-If the first &%accept%& fails, Exim goes on to try the second one. See chapter
-&<<CHAPACL>>& for details of ACLs.
