Subject: [EXIM] 1) strange reject, take #2 2) failed DNS lookup problem
Hello,

Two unrelated problems:

1) I've seen rejects because (add@???) "comment", RFC non-compliant.
Allright. But what is the problem here? (<e9> is the character e + '
accent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1998-05-07 23:58:05 0yXYg1-0006s8-00 rejected from www.virnet.org
(khjudit.tolna.net) [195.70.46.146] <khjudit@???>: syntax error
in 'From' header: missing or malformed local part (expected word or "<"):

..there were similar rejects as well on other pieces of mail.

2) I understand it is problematic when a misconfigured mail server doesn't
have rev DNS, but I don't want to REJECT them all. I'd like to have a
dns_reject_exception list but I was not able to create one. Is it possible
not to reject such hosts? Follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1998-05-08 00:24:36 connection from [199.44.170.231] refused (reject
host) (failed to find sending host name from IP address)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks,
g.
