First, I'm going to do a test to see if your mail server accepts this
mail. We have ISP-generated DNS reverse lookup problems, which won't be
fixed for a week or so ... this is why you haven't heard from me
before.
No, it doesn't:

Sorry, can't help you until this problem has been fixed - we've got new
IP numbers, but these have yet to be approved by domain-registry.nl and
Internic. We do have a perfectly servicable vacation routine for Exim,
which we use ourselves, and I'll mail this as soon as possible.
