+
+The only sensible approach seems to be to allow IP address arguments only.
+Anything else should be diagnosed as an error. However, if a name appears in
+the list, a PTR lookup should be done. This may require a lot of refactoring
+in the code.

+(311) 07-Dec-04 ? More flexible SMTP response codes

+The requestor wanted to be able to specify, for example, 551 in an ACL deny

+remain fixed. In addition to main codes, enhanced status codes (RFC 2034) were
+requested. (As far as I can tell, they have never been highly popular.)

+Unless a lot of work is done, this would be restricted to another remote
+transport. A similar effect could therefore be achieved with "shadow_hosts"
