# exim -bt localpart@[192.76.176.112]
R: system_aliases for localpart@[192.76.176.112]
localpart@[192.76.176.112] is undeliverable: Unrouteable address

Maybe I am an idiot but I double checked everything and find no problem.
My update.conf.conf looks like:

--- cut here ---
dc_eximconfig_configtype='smarthost'
dc_other_hostnames='aldebaran.dfn.de;@[]'
dc_local_interfaces='127.0.0.1;192.76.176.112'
dc_readhost=''
dc_relay_domains=''
dc_minimaldns='false'
dc_relay_nets=''
dc_smarthost='deneb.dfn.de'
CFILEMODE='644'
dc_use_split_config='false'
dc_hide_mailname='false'
dc_mailname_in_oh='true'
dc_localdelivery='mail_spool'
--- cut here ---

As I learned from /usr/sbin/update-exim4.conf the @[] has to go to
dc_other_hostnames becuase it is parsed into $local_domains (line 147)
which result in MAIN_LOCAL_DOMAINS (line 347).

I don't know what I am doing wrong. BTW: I added the hack for parsing
[] in line 110.

Regards, Holger
