Subject: Re: [Exim] Is it an Exim configuration error?
The IP 202.106.127.54 has many domain names, it is a virtual host server
providing Internet related services. Do you mean that to send mail to
FreeBSD, there must be a PTR record to resolve the IP to name? But most
IPs of net blocks in China have no PTR records, and I have no idea to
get such a PTR record, it is out of my control.

Is there any other way to get my message sent to FreeBSD.org? It is
important for me.

Thanks a lot.
