Tárgy: [Exim] Sourceforge.net and IPv6 Hosts
Hello,

    Today I signed up with one of the mailing lists on sourceforge and
sent email to sign up with the host. Even though everything worked
fine, I still got a temporary error from the sourceforge.net[Attached].


Now this behavior may be valid for IPv4 hosts however the sending MTA
(in this case leviathan.lucifer.at) has a valid AAAA pointer and a MX
record. [Below]

IMHO, the receiving MTA should also check if the sending host does
have an AAAA record and not only an A record.

Any comments?

Regards,

    -Kevin


PS - I am CC'g marc@ as I've seen a few posts re: sourceforge's mail
servers on exim-users@. Marc, I apologize if this is not the case...

(There was a temporary failure while looking up the hostname in DNS, it was
unreachable, or the mail server(s) for that hostname is/are currently not
responding and your address couldn't be verified. You may be using an internal
hostname that's not reachable from the internet and if so, bounces can't reach
you as a result. You should setup an MX record for it, or masquerade your
domain to something that does accept mail from the internet. This failure is
temporary)
