However it is less than perfect. $host is the canonical
hostname of the computer we are connected to which is not necessarily the
name we gave exim to use as smarthost:
ametzler@argenau:~$ host smtp.gmail.com
smtp.gmail.com is an alias for gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com.
gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com has address 173.194.65.108
gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com has address 173.194.65.109
gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com has IPv6 address 2a00:1450:4013:c01::6c
