Phil, great thanks for your detailed answer. I'm going to include this new router tomorrow. Unfortunately, I do not understand why both the /ignore clause and ignore_target_hosts are necessary. In my understanding, either instruction makes Exim ignore 127.0.0.1 DNS records. The latter refers to the whole subnet. Now a question if I got it right: If we left out the ignore instructions and the domain resolved to the loopback address, our new router would come in and then produce a loop, right? Then, why isn't 0.0.0.0 in the /ignore clause? Shouldn't the 192.168.x.y IP range also be added, maybe to both? Sorry for the trouble I have in mind ;-) > Oh, I can't remember what happens if you specify a > given precondition twice; it might be possible to say: > domains = +local_domains > domains = ! @mx_any/ignore=<;127.0.0.1;::1 > and have the desired effect. Pass. I just failed to find some hint in the docs. Thank you.
