Subject: [exim] A (stupid) question on MX
Hiya,

I hope I am lucky today, so let me ask another..
I have several domains whose highest priority MX I have set to
some_host, call it genie.mydomain.name
However, the final deliveries are not done on this box, but on
yet another box, call it dlvr.mydomain.name

The idea is to let spammers and all outsiders to hit genie.mydomain.name
with all mail destined to dlvr.mydomain.name. I do all filtering on the
genie.mydomain.name, then deliver mail via a manual route router to
dlvr.mydomain.name.

Router:

sqlserve_route:
  driver    = manualroute
  domains   = +sqlserve_domains
  transport = remote_smtp
  route_list = * 62.8.64.11
  no_verify
  no_more


The remote_smtp transport is just the default one:

remote_smtp:
driver = smtp


Why do I still see the following in the mainlog?

2006-06-16 16:49:52 lowest numbered MX record points to local host:
flexopac.com (while verifying <XXXX@???> from host
(mx.jamboworld.com [212.49.70.10])


Doesn't this suggest that Exim is doing some lookup? How do I stop
it from doing that?


        cheers
