contains IPv6 support. There are checks in the scripts for a running IPv4
interface; when one is not found, some tests are skipped (with a warning

(9) Exim must be built with TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST support, so that the test
configs can be placed into it. A suitable file location is .../exim/test/trusted_configs

-The domain names that are handled directly by Exim, without being passed to
-fakens, are:
-
test.again.dns This always provokes a TRY_AGAIN response, for testing the
handling of temporary DNS error. If the full domain name
starts with digits, a delay of that many seconds occurs.
test.fail.dns This always provokes a NO_RECOVERY response, for testing
DNS server failures.
-This special handling could now be done in the fakens program, but while the

-
The use of gethostbyname() and its IPv6 friends is also subverted when Exim is
running in the test harness. The test code handles a few special names
directly; for all the others it uses DNS lookups, which are then handled as
