lookup types support only literal keys.
&*Warning 2*&: In a host list, you must always use &(net-iplsearch)& so that
-the implicit key is the host's IP address rather than its name (see section
-&<<SECThoslispatsikey>>&).

&*Warning 3*&: Do not use an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address for a key; use the
IPv4, in dotted-quad form. (Exim converts IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses to this
&*Reminder*&: With this kind of pattern, you must have host &'names'& as
keys in the file, not IP addresses. If you want to do lookups based on IP

two items in the same list, one doing an address lookup and one doing a name
lookup, both using the same file.

The item @[] matches any of the local host's interface addresses.
