Cool.

I'm a little worried about the logic involved in setting
sender_host_name and sender_host_address independently the way this
patch seems to do - this looks in danger of breaking assumptions that
sender_host_name is only set from a reverse lookup of
sender_host_address. I guess its OK as long as you trust the client to
do the same if it specifies both in the XCLIENT command.

Thoughts, anyone?
(perhaps we should be on exim-dev - cc:ing there)
