This sounds like you have created "drop", "deny", "discard", and/or "defer" ACL rules which don't contain a "log_message" modifier. [This is explained in section 42 of the manual.] http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch- access_control_lists.html > 2013-02-28 15:33:21 no IP address found for host localhost.localdomain > (during SMTP connection from (ccm169.constantcontact.com) [208.75.123.169]) The above "localhost.localdomain" looks unusual; usually what should be here is the name received from an RDNS query, after which (IIRC) a forward DNS lookup is done on the name to see if the IP address matches -- and if no IP address comes back at all, that's when the above warning occurs. I'm mentioning this because it's also typical to make ACL rules to reject email from a remote sender that uses the name "localhost", since doing so is false information. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle [email protected] -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
