I got a lot of activity sending e-mail (bounce errors) to
allmarts.com matmail.com and arthlink.net .
These two domains have an MX pointing to 192.168.255.255
that is not very legal, also becouse it is the broadcast address of a
reserved subnet ...
being such address packets leave the server, but connection never
come back. This locks the server with a lot of open conenctions, with
the results that often squid ends working having no free ports.
Is there a way to avoid this problem, other than asking the dns
maintainer for these domains to correct
[ideally: how to let exim ignore and drop domain pointing to a reserved
address , without even tryyng to pass forward ??
