Subject: [exim] BATV with sender verification
Hello,

Anyone know if there is a reason why sender verification should fail
with BATV addresses? We don't use BATV ourselves, but have received a
report from a user that they were not receiving certain mail messages.
It seems that the sender address, batv signed, was not passing the
sender verification check.

A simple test to the sending host on port 25 gave this output (some of
it deliberately mangled to hide certain info):

=============================================
telnet mailgw1.kongsberg.com 25
Trying 193.71.180.98...
Connected to mailgw1.kongsberg.com (193.71.180.98).

=============================================

Is this the sending server being misconfigured, or it objecting to the
sender verification for some reason?


Regards,

John.
