Subject: [Exim] DNS and EXIM problem
Hi All,

It might be a DNS problem but since it only happens with EXIM, I am
asking here.

My config is the following:

* Exim 3.12
* Bind 9.2.0
* Debian Linux kernel 2.2.18

The problem is when I try to send a mail using the DNS located in the
same machine, which in turn works ok with every other app. When I send a
message with another DNS everything runs fine and smooth. But when I try
to send a message using the my own DNS it stops working, logging the
following:

Any idea why this is happening? Thanks in advance.
