Can anyone else try telnetting in? I telnetted in from a friends house and I
have a friend from another city telnet in to. So I dont believe it to be my
firewall settings. I believe it to be exim rejecting it if its from a
certain hosts. The mail that gets thru from my friends sendmail is
@localhost.my.domain which exim might looking at and thinking its a local
address. There is nothing in mainlog or rejectlog about the mail I send
from my ISP server. I have telnetted into my ISP smtp server and run the
Mail From, RCPT To, and Data commands to send an email to my
japplications.net account they all said ok but the mail never showed up.
Telnetting in to my smtp (mail.japplications.net) and doing the same thing
works of course.
TIA
