host_reject: (an empty file)
# File: /mail/exim/files/host_reject
# Host: Garuda
#
# Note:
# See also "sender_reject" configuration option (to reject based on
# sender address)
# Example:-
#reject.mail.from.me
# End of file
net_reject (contains 2 adderesses):
# File: /mail/exim/files/net_reject
#
161.74.0.0/16
62.5.167.206/32
net_reject_except (all internal machines)
# File: /mail/exim/files/net_reject_except
#
# Central Unix MTAs
#cougar.wmin.ac.uk
161.74.160.93/32
#Garuda.wmin.ac.uk
161.74.160.7/32
# Student Email Novell Servers

# Linux machine at Harrow

161.74.96.141/32
# End of file
In the test exim -bh I am getting the following:
>>> host in host_lookup? yes (matched "0.0.0.0/0")
>>> looking up host name for 200.44.242.136
>>> IP address lookup failed: h_errno=1
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
>>> host in host_reject_connection? no (option unset)
>>> host in sender_unqualified_hosts? no (option unset)
>>> host in recipient_unqualified_hosts? no (option unset)
>>> host in helo_verify_hosts? no (option unset)
>>> host in helo_try_verify_hosts? no (option unset)
>>> host in helo_accept_junk_hosts? no (option unset)
LOG: SMTP connection from [200.44.242.136]
220 garuda.wmin.ac.uk ESMTP Exim 4.12 Fri, 11 Apr 2003 16:22:44 +0100
In all the "problem" e-mail we are finding this same theme. I had to
go back to 2.12.
Any suggestion?
Thanks
