While you're there, please read two points further down, to "Keep List Relevant Stuff On List and Other Stuff Off".

Possibly an SMTP connection from localhost? > Entries such as these are logged 300-400 times per day: > 2005-12-28 16:51:08 no IP address found for host > smtp05.dc2.safesecureweb.com (during SMTP connection from > (81.161.250.78) [81.161.250.78]) The rest, on the other hand, is specifically because the host name you've given (smtp05.dc2.safesecureweb.com) does not resolve in the DNS. That name probably appears in your configs in a hostlist somewhere, which cannot be properly initialized: http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.60/doc/html/spec.html/ch10.html#SECTbehipnot Using IPs in the config as Giuliano suggested is just a workaround. The real solution is for you to fix your DNS problem. - Marc -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
