Hello Doc,
Initially I didn't quite understand what was happening with the temp
rejections, it was a squirrelwebmail server trying to persistantly deliver
mail to the Exim 4 server here, once I changed the order of the dnslookup it
delivered the messages. I guess that was what was wrong, some jack**s
decided to register a domain and then use it without arranging for someone
to host his mail services and the like.
I think that I will have a word with the postmaster here at uleth.ca and
see if he can improve the situation. I think that Exim will give up trying
to send the message and reject it.
Thanks for your help with this problem.
Cheers,
Aly.
