Mar 13 14:22:01 baby exim[25957]: 2008-03-13 14:22:01 unqualified
recipient rejected: <amy> H=([192.168.0.2]) [192.168.1.100] (failed to
find host name from IP address)

I guess 192.168.1.100 is what my main router calls the subrouter.  The
subrouter is configured to use the address 192.168.0.1 .  Do I need to
add 192.168.1.100 to the hostlist in exim.conf and restart exim?
