Subject: [Exim] unqualified sender rejected
Greetings,

Can anyone help explain what "unqualified sender rejected" means when I see
it in my log? I see it maybe once or twice per day, and it's always with
"rejected" -so I'm fairly sure all is okay with my config - I just don't
fully understand what it means when it pops up in the log and I seem to be
getting it more freq. From searching Google, does it have something to do
with H=(XXXXXX) not being a fully qualified domain? I'm certain the
entries below are ghouls/spammers, 210.178.113.140 is from Korea (not
Yahoo) and the others are bogus as well.

Thanks in advance for any insight.
