tries using A record instead of MX
Hello Graeme,
When there were (quite rare) actual connectivity issues, I saw the
messages like
2018-03-19 12:58:22 1exnoM-0004qJ-Bn ** user1@???
<user@???>: all relevant MX records point to non-existent hosts
However, the cases I mention do not print anything like above to
main.log (and MX records are normally resolved at that moment, both
manually and via output of 'exim -bt user@???').
I'll do the debug run at first opportunity. I consider trying
manualroute for this particular domain, since staying on vulnerable Exim
version isn't fun, either.
Regards,
Konstantin
