breakthru.com has a wildcard so ANYTHING you look for there will come back with an answer, which exim's blacklist lookup is configured by you to reject. > But the ip-address of 128.31.0.34 is not belong to 'breakthru.com': > dig -x 128.31.0.34 > 34.0.31.128.in-addr.arpa. 1800 IN PTR moria.csail.mit.edu. It's actually looking up 34.0.31.128.breakthru.com, which returns 208.88.180.117. ANYTHING.breakthru.com returns that IP, so it will always hit, which will always cause your mail server to reject. > So, that blacklisting had as a result blocking the mail which I didn't > want to block. > What I did wrong or is there a bug in my version of an exim? You're using breakthru.com to do RBL lookups, but you shouldn't be. Remove it from your dns blacklists configuration. -- Regards...
