Hi all,
I'm running exim 4.72 on Debian 6.0.6.
I'm seeing messages in my mainlog when hosts on my own LAN connect to exim:
no IP address found for host eeprobe.euroele.local (during SMTP connection from [192.168.3.55])
exim4 -bh yields the following:
**** SMTP testing session as if from host 192.168.3.55
**** but without any ident (RFC 1413) callback.
**** This is not for real!
>>> host in hosts_connection_nolog? no (option unset) host in
>>> host_lookup? yes (matched "*") looking up host name for 192.168.3.55
>>> IP address lookup yielded eeprobe.euroele.local no IP address found
>>> for host eeprobe.euroele.local (during SMTP connection from
>>> [192.168.3.55])
LOG: no IP address found for host eeprobe.euroele.local (during SMTP connection from [192.168.3.55])
>>> no IP addresses found for eeprobe.euroele.local
>>> 192.168.3.55 does not match any IP address for eeprobe.euroele.local
However, I can do a forward lookup using dig on eeprobe.euroele.local and it resolves to a single 'A'
record 192.168.3.55 and a reverse lookup on 192.168.3.55 yields a single 'PTR' 192.168.3.55.
So why on earth is Exim saying no IP address found for host eeprobe.euroele.local?
Thanks
James Mills
