OK. So I've got things setup in my /etc/exim.conf with a few diffrences
from the default setup that ships with Cygwin. I have attached the output
of the diff with this email.
Using that configuration, below are the kinds of error messages that
I am seeing (I've changed the actual domain to hide it, but the message
is cut and pasted as is):
2004-08-25 02:25:42 lowest numbered MX record points to local host: t.com (while verifying <mns-usenet@???> from host sccrmhc13.comcast.net [204.127.202.64])

my_host.attbi.com is the Windows 2000 box on which I am running Exim.
I used to have it set to the IP address of my_host.attbi.com but Exim
was complaining that that was an incorrect thing to do. So I changed it
to the hostname. Now it gives the error message that I reported above.
What am I doing wrong ?
cheers,
