http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1289 Summary: 10.14: Is there a wrong example? Product: Exim Version: 4.80 Platform: Other URL: http://git.exim.org/exim.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/doc/doc- docbook/spec.xfpt OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: bug Priority: low Component: Documentation AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [email protected] CC: [email protected] The following patch deletes an example which, I think, is plain wrong. I did not replaced it with another example because I could not think of any. There is also a suggested usage for the +ignore_unknown directive at the next paragraph of the text, where it is mentioned that it can cancel a previous +include_unknown directive. In fact, is there any difference between +ignore_unknown and the default behavior? I think the example is plain wrong because it mentions name lookup for 192.168.4.5. Yet, in the hosts = < host list> section in ACL conditions (42.24), it is explicitly stated that It can test IP addresses without doing any DNS lookups My understanding is that no DNS lookups on these circumstances is also implied in the Host list patterns that match by IP address (10.11) section: * If the pattern is an IP address, it is matched against the IP address of the subject host. --- a/spec.xfpt 2012-08-24 21:35:19.000000000 +0300 +++ b/spec.xfpt 2012-08-24 22:42:09.000000000 +0300 @@ -8240,15 +8240,7 @@ any hosts whose name it cannot find. .next If any item that follows &`+ignore_unknown`& requires information that cannot -be found, Exim ignores that item and proceeds to the rest of the list.
