I would like to trap and then use the absence of a Host name in ACL
Connection.
condition = ${if and{ {def:sender_host_address} \
{!def:sender_host_name} } {yes}{no} }
The above condition, found on the Internet, can not discriminate between
the absence of a host name and the absence of a Reverse DNS entry.

I wondered if Exim can define the difference between
(a) the sender's host IP address not having a look-upable name; and
(b) the sender's host IP address' name not having a look-upable IP
address.
The above condition does not distinguish between the two related but
different states.
