I have a connection refused on mail.alcatel.co.uk but when I telnet to the
server I get a line from sendmail so the server is up.
Now I do have a bit of a weird setup, so it might be normal to refuse it.
First of all, I've given the server a different name with dyndns. So my IP has
two names. The normal name from the provider and my dyndns-name.
Second, I use fetchmail to collect mail from a different server and maildrop to
mine. For that domain I've build an alias-list. The e-mail address the sender
used isn't in the alias-list and so it's bounced. Very normal indeed, because
it isn't intended for anybody on the domain I fetched from, so the sender used
the wrong domain. (on the domain I fetch from are only 6 users, I know them all
personaly...)
Now Exim is sending a bounce-message to the original sender. And the mailserver
of the sender is refusing the connection.
Why? can it because it's a bounce-message? can it be that the mailserver can't
figure out the dns-name? or can it be something else?
