again this happens only after we add the new DNS zone (for new domain) via WHM. This just happened recently - we are adding new domains ( DNS ) all the time. The only way fro our email to work again we would need to turn on (or Off) the "Sender Verify" to save the config and restart EXIM and email working again. Any idea?
