I need some guidance as to what's causing sender verify to defer. I've
searched through the mail archives and can't quite find anything that
lines up with the problem I'm having.
Here are the snippets from the logs:
Nov 9 00:32:13 web3 exim[68066]: H=civic.websitewelcome.com
[67.18.153.226] sender verify defer for <xxx <at> bell-mortgage.net>: host

<xxx <at> stelesys.com>: Could not complete sender verify
On the server, I can do lookups of the host bell-mortgage.net in every
way, with no problems. I can telnet to that address on port 25, etc. I
can even do this:
web3# telnet 0 25
Trying 0.0.0.0...
Connected to 0.
Escape character is '^]'.

^]
telnet> quit
But for some reason, when the real host sends mail to my server, it gets
deferred. Any ideas on what the problem is?
Thanks much!
