Relevant to this bug may also be the discussion following http://www.exim.org/mail-archives/exim-users/Week-of-Mon-20050221/msg00348.html, the essence of the outcome being Andreas writing: > We'll need to use a smarter lookup with or or save the original name > in $hosts_data. That smarter lookup has, however, not proven to be done easily, since we need to search for a line in passwd.client where the first field resolves to the IP we're connected to. This query-style lookup for text files is not yet possible in exim (http://www.exim.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65). The better possibility would be to select the authenticator in the transport where we still know the configured smarthost name for directly matching against passwd client. This also is not yet possible in exim (http://www.exim.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66). Since it would be extraordinarily hard to solve this with current exim (unless a new exciting idea comes up), I am going to tag this bug upstream and let it rot away until exim provides means to do this easier.
