http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=831 Summary: hosts_find_bydns does not support trailing '.' on DNS
names
Product: Exim
Version: 4.69
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: bug
Priority: medium
Component: Lookups
AssignedTo:

The 'bydns' host resolution method rejects names in the form of:
foohost1.domain.com.
That is, containing a trailing '.'. This is used to indicate that no search
paths should be applied, and is still a valid DNS name. However, the regex
rejects these:
uschar *check_dns_names_pattern=
US"(?i)^(?>(?(1)\\.|())[^\\W_](?>[a-z0-9/-]*[^\\W_])?)+$";
With the error message:
finding IP address for foohost1.domain.com.:15600
host=foohost1.domain.com. port=15600
doing DNS lookup
DNS name syntax check failed: foohost1.domain.com. (A)
smarthost router: defer for
quux@...
message: lookup of host "foohost1.domain.com." failed in smarthost router:
syntax error in name
It is not known to me if the code beyond this regex similarly has difficulty
with the trailing '.'.
