I make a manualmx that contains:

        123.456.789.012: mylocaldomain.mydomain.org

        Then I run

        exim -bt [email protected]

and get:

        LOG: MAIN
          remote host address is the local host: 123.456.789.012 (while routing 
<[email protected]>)
        [email protected] cannot be resolved at this time: remote host 
address is the local host

and an arriving message logs:


2021-11-21 21:38:13.188 [19312] H=mail-oo1-f53.google.com [209.85.161.53]:43916 
I=[123.456.789.012]:25 X=TLS1.2:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:128 CV=no 
F=<[email protected]> temporarily rejected RCPT <[email protected]>: 
host lookup for mylocaldomain.mydomain.org did not complete (DNS timeout?)

        If it knows the remote host address is the local host, why
can't it resolve it?  How can it not look it up if it knows what it
is?  Why doesn't exim consult hosts.conf?
