You could be restricting who can talk to you with sender_net_reject, but
if you were I doubt you'd ask on this list!
If you run exim via inetd do you have tcp_wrapper or similar that might
be preventing the connection?
Maybe you are running one of those resolver libraries that
does a reverse lookup on the incoming address, then a forward
check and does a compare - to prevent spoofing. If the check
doesn't ignore case then it would fail because, taking a random
host at net.com...
ELVIS.net.com. 172609 A 134.56.2.20
20.2.56.134.in-addr.arpa. 83041 PTR elvis.Net.COM.
But I would expect that if this is failing on your system
that it would be logged to the console, or somewhere else via syslog.
