Re: [Exim] bug on check dns name syntax

Ok, I am actually paying attention this time :-)
You error message tells you why ( DNS name syntax check failed:)

the host that exim is testing has underscores in the name and it will reject
that because of the default value of dns_check_names_pattern option. you
need to either change the default value of this option or set it to null as
in dns_check_names_pattern =

if you test your ACL with a hostname that is fully legal you will find you
don't get this error
