Hello, I am now using exim 4.60, and I noticed something quite strange to me in the logs when doing sender verification. Here is the relevant log line:
2006-02-09 11:38:28 H=c-24-63-184-85.hsd1.ma.comcast.net [24.63.184.85] sender verify fail for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: response to "MAIL FROM:<>" from calligate2.cali.co.uk [62.172.47.141] was: 550 5.1.1 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is not a valid mailbox However, how could the server possibly have answered "not a valid mailbox" at "MAIL FROM: <>" step? If I do it by hand, I just get: telnet calligate2.cali.co.uk 25 Trying 62.172.47.141... Connected to calligate2.cali.co.uk. Escape character is '^]'. 220 digest2.cali.co.uk ESMTP server ready (Alligate v1.5.11.16-267.1-1.23) helo mail.llorien.org 250 digest2.cali.co.uk mail from: <> 250 OK rcpt to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 550 5.1.1 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is not a valid mailbox Which seems ok. However Exim logged it from "MAIL FROM:" step. -- ## 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/
