Betreff: [Exim] Can ignore_target_hosts help?
So, I have about 200 frozen mails (and more coming because of this):

Message 169bFQ-0006KG-00 has been frozen.
The sender is <>.

The following address(es) have yet to be delivered:
arenaalta@???: lowest numbered MX record points to
local host

panoramix:/etc/mail# host -t MX worldclasssportfishing.net
worldclasssportfishing.net      MX      30 mail
 !!! worldclasssportfishing.net MX host mail is not canonical


Yep, this apparently means that the MX resolves back to mail.mydomain.tld,
and of course exim isn't configured to receive mail for it, so the mails get
frozen.

I didn't realize that DNS could be so broken as to allow that.

Anything I can do on my side to defend against such brokenness?
