We have # comments in 'hosts = ' files, but as far as I know you have
to put them on a line by themselves. You can't have a line of the form:

    127.0.0.1    # this is my reason for localhost


If you don't have comments of this form, it's possible that you have a
genuinely malformed IP address and so on. Running a fake Exim SMTP session
may reveal more information, such as the specific malformed address:

    exim -bh <IP address>
