I am now using exim 4.60, and I noticed something quite strange to me in
the logs when doing sender verification. Here is the relevant log line:
2006-02-09 11:38:28 H=c-24-63-184-85.hsd1.ma.comcast.net [24.63.184.85]
sender verify fail for <yyrutebjkuwpbh@???>: response to
"MAIL FROM:<>" from calligate2.cali.co.uk [62.172.47.141] was: 550
5.1.1 <mail.llorien.org-1139481506-testing@???> is not a
valid mailbox
However, how could the server possibly have answered "not a valid
mailbox" at "MAIL FROM: <>" step?
If I do it by hand, I just get:
telnet calligate2.cali.co.uk 25
Trying 62.172.47.141...
Connected to calligate2.cali.co.uk.
Escape character is '^]'.

550 5.1.1 <mail.llorien.org-1139481506-testing@???> is
not a valid mailbox
Which seems ok. However Exim logged it from "MAIL FROM:" step.
