Subject: Re: [exim-dev] Bug 2369: single-key lookup type based on libcorkipset
Turns out the underlying library wants IPv6 addresses colon separated;
but in contexts where a host address is being tested for list
membership, exim passes it to the lookup as dot-separated. This is of
course documented in the Spec, section 10.12.

Since IP addresses are the only things worth testing by this lookup,
maybe I should internally translate them from dot to colon, before I
pass them to libcork?
