Subject: [Exim] roadrunner broke my new toy..
Hello,

It's always fun till the big kids come and break your new toy isn't it?

So I got my exim working with sender verification by removing the
smarthost setup I had. Using the logic of "If I can verify the sender,
if the recipient doesn't exist, I'll be able to send back a message to a
valid originator." (and I won't need to send all my bounces to a smart
host for outbound delivery..

require verify = sender/callout=10s
message = unrouteable sender domain

as per the spec.txt (38.22) tells me that this will spend 10 seconds on
this. Which is more than enough time. So I've found that I get this
type of response from roadrunner domains (*.rr.com):

<<< 550-(result of an earlier callout reused).
<<< 550-The initial connection, or a HELO or MAIL FROM:<> command was
<<< 550-rejected. Refusing MAIL FROM:<> does not help fight spam, disregards
<<< 550-RFC requirements, and stops you from receiving standard bounce
<<< 550-messages. This host does not accept mail from domains whose servers
<<< 550-refuse bounces.
<<< 550 Sender verify failed

So it looks like roadrunner doesn't like mail from <> go to it's
recipients.. (lame)

So I was looking at the the other options for the callout, specifically
the random and postmaster.. but it doesn't look like it' changes the
sender only who it looks for at the other end..

BUT

when I do this by hand it seems to go through..

So I'm not too sure what the problem is w/ my exim setup.
