Somebody please help ASAP. I'm in charge of a small network. I have a
sun box to handle our mail. the domain name is cs.ub.bw. at the momemt
users can send mail outside but have problem recieving from outside. our
sun box (dumela.cs.ub.bw has to relay through another machine
(savuti.ub.bw:168.167.8.3) which also runs the dns. what i have noticed
is that savuti doesn't relay to dumela as it should . instead it freezes
some messages and queues the others. other mailboxes like mopipi.ub.bw
have no problems. below are the config files of both machines.
ps: i tried the exim bv , bh and the rest and i still couldn't figure
out the problem.

name) is an unqualified # email
address. Unqualified addresses are accepted only from local callers by

seeking to abuse hosts by using them
for unwanted relaying. If you really # do want to support domain
literals, remove the following line,
