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>
- cks
