By "local IP address", do you mean "an address on an interface of this
host"? If not, Exim is working as designed:
* If a pattern consists of the string "@[]" it matches any local IP interface
address, enclosed in square brackets, as in an email address that contains
a domain literal.
In this paragraph "local IP interface" means "an interface on this
host". I will add more words to make that clearer.
I'm guessing that by "local IP address" you mean "an address on the
local LAN". Exim does not attempt to work out anything about a local
LAN. All IP addresses other than those on the local host's interfaces
are "remote" from Exim's point of view.
