Apparently something is amiss.
According to my ACL, authenticated users should not be subject to the
recipient verification.
I have this earlier in the ACL so the message should be accepted before
it gets to the recipient verification.
accept hosts = *
authenticated = *
To test, I have commented out the recipient verification from exim.conf
and restarted exim. The message still gets rejected.
I can see from my frontend server logs that the message gets rejected at
RCPT TO time so it can't be any later ACLS.
Google is not my friend on this one as trying to find anything about
"host lookup did not complete" comes back with billions of people with
misconfigured DNS. That is not my problem, I want Exim to accept
messages with temporary failures from authenticated users.
I guess another setting is required so I will keep searching...
