I suspect you are new to exim :-)
I suspect you mean "The way I have configured exim, it ..."
You need to give details of your config file.

And I can deliver email to it ...

Subject: [EXIM] sending mail to host with no mx record
Hi eximers,
Currently exim doesn't deliver mail to host with no mx record.
host mailgate.wizvax.net doesn't have a mx record BUT has a A record.
exim reject the mail saying "host not found", my real machine still
(unfortunately), sendmail sends the mail ok.
BTW my smtp gateway sends a ton of mail everyday... so setting a special
route for just this host/domain is not enough.
thanks for any help...

Soon to convert to exim
