Subject: [Exim] Exim 3 - "Senders Domain does not resolv" errors
This is not making a lot of sense to me, I have been sending email from
this machine for some time now. Everybody always gets it. Now I have a
single domain that is refusing email with this error...

4.1.8 Domain of sender address Keith@??? does not resolve

I find the does not resolv strange because when I use dig to test it, it
resolves fine:
