I have an account on the system, which is how i've been doing my testing.
Telnetting to theory.org:25 gives:
Okay, this is great <sarcastic>. I just tried sending mail from the problem
system again, and now its getting through. It wasn't working at 11:37a and
now its working at 11:47a. Grrrr... I didn't touch theory.org.
Well to keep on with this discussion a little bit because i fear the problem
will happen again:
Why would mail sent directly to systems.theory.org, running the same version
of Exim but setup as a smarthost work, but not to theory.org itself? It seems
like it should fail for both.
Thank you very much for your help so far. This has been a bit frustrating.
