Or from the same section

If the pattern is an IP address, it is matched against the IP address of the
subject host. IPv4 addresses are given in the normal “dotted-quad” notation.
IPv6 addresses can be given in colon-separated format, but the colons have to
be doubled so as not to be taken as item separators when the default list
separator is used. IPv6 addresses are recognized even when Exim is compiled
without IPv6 support. This means that if they appear in a host list on an
IPv4-only host, Exim will not treat them as host names. They are just
addresses that can never match a client host.
