-The supported DNS record types are A, CNAME, MX, NS, PTR, SPF, SRV, and TXT,
+The supported DNS record types are A, CNAME, MX, NS, PTR, SPF, SRV, TLSA and TXT,
and, when Exim is compiled with IPv6 support, AAAA (and A6 if that is also
configured). If no type is given, TXT is assumed. When the type is PTR,
the data can be an IP address, written as normal; inversion and the addition of
list. The effect of each one lasts until the next, or until the end of the
list.

+wildcarded hostname is one of the items in the hostlist.

-.cindex "host list" "mixing names and addresses in"
-If you have name lookups or wildcarded host names and IP addresses in the same
-host list, you should normally put the IP addresses first. For example, in an
-ACL you could have:
-.code
-accept hosts = 10.9.8.7 : *.friend.example
-.endd
-The reason for this lies in the left-to-right way that Exim processes lists.
-It can test IP addresses without doing any DNS lookups, but when it reaches an
-item that requires a host name, it fails if it cannot find a host name to
-compare with the pattern. If the above list is given in the opposite order, the
-&%accept%& statement fails for a host whose name cannot be found, even if its
-IP address is 10.9.8.7.
-
-If you really do want to do the name check first, and still recognize the IP
-address, you can rewrite the ACL like this:
-.code
-accept hosts = *.friend.example
-accept hosts = 10.9.8.7
-.endd
-If the first &%accept%& fails, Exim goes on to try the second one. See chapter
-&<<CHAPACL>>& for details of ACLs.
