Tárgy: RE: [Exim] reverse DNS lookup for virtual domains
I found the problem: I upgraded to 4.20. Then it took me a while before
I noticed that the old version was still running, but now 4.20 is
running, and the IP lookup problem vanished.

What do you mean that it was the postmaster? It wasn't :) ... But well,
doesn't matter now, I think.

Now the next step is to get aliases for virtual domains ... but I'll get
some more documentation for that ;) ...

Thanks for the help!
