None of these are Exim messages, so it's some other mailer that is
detecting the problem. It looks as though the problem may be in the data
in the DNS rather than in any of the mailers. Hmm. There's something
odd:
taurus$ host mtlinc.net ns1.mtlinc.net
ns1.mtlinc.net has no A record (Authoritative answer)
Error in looking up server name
There are apparently no A records in the DNS for the nameservers
registered for mtlinc.net (ns1.mtlinc.net and ns0.mtlinc.net) on those
servers themselves. I'm not sure that this is at all relevant to your
problem, though!
