That's because, as you stated in a previous message, you have a deny list containing that hostname. Exim looks up the hostname when it gets a connection to see if the IP the connection is from that host. That hostname doesn't resolve: $ dig phpbbspprt840.gmail.com ; <<>> DiG 9.3.6-P1-RedHat-9.3.6-20.P1.el5_8.5 <<>> phpbbspprt840.gmail.com ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 58335 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;phpbbspprt840.gmail.com.
