Thank you, that's interesting. For me:
% exim -bh 209.119.0.43
gives:
>>> host in host_lookup? yes (0.0.0.0/0)
>>> looking up host name for 209.119.0.43
>>> IP address lookup yielded lime.ease.lsoft.com
>>> Alias 209.119.0.43
>>> Alias lime.ease.lsoft.com
>>> host in host_reject? no (option unset)
>>> host in host_reject_recipients? no (end of list)
*However*
% exim -bh 209.119.1.41
gives:
>>> host in host_lookup? yes (0.0.0.0/0)
>>> looking up host name for 209.119.1.41
>>> IP address lookup yielded lime.ease.lsoft.com
>>> Alias 209.119.0.43
>>> Alias lime.ease.lsoft.com
>>> 209.119.1.41 does not match any IP address for lime.ease.lsoft.com
>>> host in host_reject? no (option unset)
>>> host in host_reject_recipients? yes (failed to find host name or lookup deferred)
LOG: recipients from [209.119.1.41] refused (209.119.1.41 does not match any
IP address for lime.ease.lsoft.com)
I'm using NIS, and I guess you are not. Do you think that could be getting in
the way?
