[Pkg-exim4-users] pop-before-smtp problem

After a recent upgrade, I can no longer get pop-before-smtp to work with exim4. (It worked before the upgrade)

pop-before-smtp seems to be working, and updating its database.
exim4 seems to be working, except when I add the ":net-dbmnz;/var/lib/pop-before-smtp/hosts.db" to the dc_relay_nets in the update-exim4.conf.conf file.
Then I get "unknown lookup type "<" in host list item "<; net-dbmnz;/var/lib/pop-before-smtp/hosts.db" in the paniclog file.

System info:
exim4 -bV returns the following:
