i would like to explicitly define the ip address inside the config file. Is this currently possible?
Unfortunately not using only the Exim config file. [ I suspect this is due to features having been added over time. The parsing of a single host-spec is custom, and lacks any way of escaping metacharacters. This is a bug; feel free to raise one. The problem will be fixing it in some way that is back-compatible. ] Apart from an /etc/hosts entry (as you found) - you could use a mysql config file entry ( https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.4/en/option-files.html ) along the lines of [exim] host = <host> (which according to those docs accepts name, ipv4-addr or ipv6-addr) -- Cheers, Jeremy -- ## subscription configuration (requires account): ## https://lists.exim.org/mailman3/postorius/lists/exim-users.lists.exim.org/ ## unsubscribe (doesn't require an account): ## exim-users-unsubscr...@lists.exim.org ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
