rejected [C06.5] IP host name invalid for normal mail server.
> What does "IP host name invalid for normal mail server" actually mean?
The test in Exim is
deny message = [C06.5] Msg6 Msg2
hosts = ^.*[a].?[d].?[s].?[l]*
and is intended to reject mail from mail servers having 'adsl' in the
host name of their connection. 'olga.hinterlands.org' clearly does not
have 'adsl' but does have 'ads' so I am changing the test to
hosts = ^.*[a].?[d].?[s].?[l].?
I thought, mistakenly perhaps, .? means none or only 1 ambiguous
character.
