new to the list, please excuse me if this has been handled before.
When exim connects to my ISPs mailserver mailout.telia.com, it replies that
its name is pne-smtpout1.glb.skanova.net
Checking the nameserver confirms that mailout is just an alias for the
longer name.
Entering mailout.telia.com:user:password results in a failed connection,
changing to the alias works.
Shouldn't exim be ablie to connect using both the alias and the real
mailserver name?
