Having plagued this list with my problems (all sorted now thanks to Phil)
I thought I recount a little story.
I wanted to see how the verification worked in exim so I thought I'd send it
some spoof email. Don't ask me why but I made up the address james.bond@???
I did a 'nslookup' to make sure that mi5.com wasn't a valid domain, did the
telnet mailhost 25 thing and watched what happened using eximon (I love eximon).
Imagine my horror when I saw exim happily deliver my test email to mi5.com!!
I'd got caught out by DNS delays on my lookup.
About an hour later, I got a very polite reply from the postmaster at
mi5.com asking me not to send test messages to this address, to which I sent
an apologetic reply.
.. but I have to say, I wonder how many messages that guy will get addressed
to james.bond or Q@????!
Regards to all,
Glenn
