Exim normally includes both the host name and the IP address in the key it
constructs for indexing retry data after a temporary delivery failure. This
means that when one of several IP addresses for a host is failing, it gets
However, in some dialup environments hosts are assigned a different IP address
each time they connect. In this situation the use of the IP address as part of
the retry key leads to undesirable behaviour. Setting this option false causes
-Exim to use only the host name. This should normally be done on a separate
-instance of the &(smtp)& transport, set up specially to handle the dialup
-hosts.
+Exim to use only the host name.
+Since it is expanded it can be made to depend on the host or domain.
