I read this before, but it didn't seem to provide a solution. > http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/DontObfuscate I am sorry for not describing my exact problem. The problem is that exim does a dns lookup for smtp1.mydomain.org and finds an internal ip address, to which access is not allowed. Bind has been configured to receive a zone for this domain (which connects to our network through a vpn connection), acting as a slave. The smtp server also has an external ip address, which exim should use instead. Mike Cardwell wrote: > I don't think this is possible within Exim it's self.

I was thinking telling exim to use "gethostbyname()" would solve this, but I may be wrong and it could break other things.
