Yep ... those are bounced messages.

Well ... they bounce because the receipient-domain (from the original
message) does not exist.

But the bounce message never gets back to the original sender!

Well I'm switched from sendmail to exim a few days ago on a "large"
mail-gateway and I'm still waiting for my EXIM-Book I've ordered :-)

So what what is a "sender/receiver verification" in my "ACLs"?

Thanx for your help
