Hi Members,



Hello all. I am running Exim 4 together with Mailscanner and ClamAV.
Recently I am facing a problem with a valid email address (user@???)
sending to the recipient recipient@??? . The email could not be sent
out because the recipient's server claims that user@??? is not being
able to resolve. The problem is that this same user@??? is able to
send messages to other accounts. The following are the details:

May I know what is the problem? I tried DNSreport on both user@???
and recipient@??? and the results are fine. Is there a way to solve
the problem?



Thank you very much in advance.



Best regards,

CH WONG
