Hello, I'm installing Exim 4.51 on to a server and including the new CSA patch so that we can test it a bit. However, I noticed in the patched NewStuff file it says:
This implementation includes an extension to CSA. If the query domain is an address literal such as [192.0.2.95], or if it is a bare IP address, Exim will search for CSA SRV records in the reverse DNS as if the HELO domain was e.g. 95.2.0.192.in-addr.arpa. By 'bare IP address' I assume something like '10.1.2.3' - no surrounding square brackets. Surely though it is a relatievly common practice to reject mail from those hosts using just an IP address in their HELO command? As such, this CSA check (for a bare IP address) is not likely to succeed unless it preceeds the usual HELO checks.
