using name of host in spamd_address

Hello!
I'd like to use hostname instead numeric ip in spamd_address variable.
I've added host to /etc/hosts file:
$ grep sa /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 sa
$ ping sa
PING sa (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from meteor.mejor.pl (127.0.0.1): icmp_req=1 ttl=60 time=0.000 ms
64 bytes from meteor.mejor.pl (127.0.0.1): icmp_req=2 ttl=60 time=0.000 ms
^C

In exim.conf, in main section i've got:
spamd_address = sa 783
With such configuration exim-4,77 throws to log:
2012-04-04 16:20:59 1SFR4t-0003rv-M8 spam acl condition: warning - spamd
connection to sa, port 783 failed: Network is unreachable

I didn't have such problem with configuring connection to sql server,
hostname works.
Is it possible to use hostname in spamd_address or i'm doing it in wrong
way?

Thanks,
Marcin

Hi!
I've found bugs about it[1][2]. They are marked as fixed in 4.77 but it
looks for me they aren't fixed. I still can't use hostname in
spamd_address. Could it be those bugs are fixed partially (i mean was
added expansion of spamd_address only)
Regards,
Marcin

That's how I read the current state of play. I suggest opening a new
"feature request" bug specifically for name support. In the meantime,
can you use a dnsdb lookup?

I've filled bug 1259. I'm calling $spam_score about 5 times, docs says:
"The spam condition caches its results unless expansion in spamd_address
was used." I'd like to spare some cpu cycles.
Thanks,
Marcin
