Hi

Thanks for your ideas but it still doesn't work. I am sure the DNS TTLs
will have times out by now. On other interesting thing is if I telnet from
my UNIX box to 123-reg and try to send a message that exim handles the
domain from I get the following:

telnet mx0.123-reg.co.uk 25
Trying 195.224.48.125...
Connected to mx0.123-reg.co.uk.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 two.mx.123-reg.co.uk ESMTP Exim 4.43 Tue, 19 Dec 2006 14:48:13 +0000
helo gdmckee.com
250 two.mx.123-reg.co.uk Hello
82-36-186-17.cable.ubr03.soli.blueyonder.co.uk [82.36.186.17]
mail from: gordon@???
250 OK
rcpt to: gordonmckee@???
550
data
503 valid RCPT command must precede DATA
quit
Connection closed by foreign host.

Then if I try from my other address from the exchange server I get a
different message.

telnet mx0.123-reg.co.uk 25
Trying 195.224.48.124...
Connected to mx0.123-reg.co.uk.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 three.mx.123-reg.co.uk ESMTP Exim 4.43 Tue, 19 Dec 2006 14:49:12 +0000
helo gdmckee.com
250 three.mx.123-reg.co.uk Hello gdmckee.com [82.36.186.17]
mail from: gordonmckee@???
250 OK
rcpt to: gordonmckee@???
550-Verification failed for <gordonmckee@???>
550 Sender verify failed

Many thanks

Gordon
