Subject: [Exim] RCPT to <address> refused errors
I have a puzzling situation:
every time I send mail the mail client recieves a RCPT to <address>
refused error and the following shows up in the log.


./var/log/exim_mainlog:2004-01-18 07:04:24 no host name found for IP
address 213.37.97.51

../var/log/exim_mainlog:2004-01-18 07:04:44 1AiBfV-0007XU-HJ <=

The IP shown is not the correct IP for e-forma.net.... does anyone have
any idea why localhost is resolving to an incorrect IP address?? if I
do a nslookup I get the correct IP: 216.180.242.194... so the dns entry
is not to blame it would seem.
