Bug#244724: Seems to work these days, at least partially

Much like Marcin in 2009, I'm not seeing a problem
with reverse DNS lookups in 2012.

The warning is in the man page for
exim4_passwd_client.

It says, in part

    "This goes inevitably wrong if [...] the
    reverse lookup does not fit the forward one."

I was worried that since the reverse DNS of my
smarthost listed in /etc/exim4/passwd.client
reports a different domain name, exim wouldn't
work.

But it did.

My smarthost has a DNS "A" record.

I'm using version 4.80-5.1 of exim.

Thanks,
Kingsley
