I run a couple of mailing lists that get pretty decent traffic. I used to
use Exim as my MTA. I came across a pretty strage problem using Exim a
couple of weeks ago. Mails to cyberspace.org were bouncing. I somehow
managed to exchange a few emails with one of the admins of this service and
they told me that there was some kind of misconfiguration at my end.
I ran a couple of tests and the results are as following:
OS: Debian 2.1 (hamm)
exim: 2.05-1
* Using Exim as MTA. Mails to cyberspace.org bouncing.

What gives? Would really appreciate help in fixing this under Exim.
Thanks.
