I have +warn_unknown in hosts_reject_reciepients so it ain't that
I use ip's for all the host_accept_relay
config
-
host_accept_relay = "203.23.53.0/24:lsearch;/usr/exim/popauth"
-
the popauth file contains ips
I've tried with /32 and without
I've tried swaping the order of ips
ip's in the file that do have a reversable entry work fine
all I get is this on a unreversable IP that is in the list
>>> host in host_accept_relay? no (failed to find host name or lookup
deferred)
203.123.75.1 is the ip I've been testing with :)
this is exim 3.14 btw
