I have a client who cannot send email through our server. He keeps getting bounced mail and the exim_rejectlog reports this:
2002-09-02 16:38:48 refused relay (host) to &[email protected]& from &[email protected]& H=(web3.assortedinternet.com) [216.40.242.60] (failed to find host name from IP address)
But, what I don't get is, their sending from the localhost. So I ran some diagnostics with exim:
[email protected] [/etc]# exim -d9 -bh 216.40.242.60

So, as you can see, its blocking mail from that IP. But, that is a local IP! What the hell??

Any ideas what might be going on? Help is greatly appreciated.
