Address of "smtp.myserver.de" matches an IP address that exim recognises as being it's own address, however it does not recognise the domain on the inbound email "smtp.xxx.de" as being a domain that it accepts mail for. I'm guessing the MX record for "smtp.xxx.de" points to "localhost" or possibly to "smtp.myserver.de" If it looks legit do a whois lookup on smtp.xxx.de and ask the admin contact what they're trying to do. I think a misconfiguration something like that can sometimes evade the inbound/outbound barrier on some other MTAs if poorly configured. -- umop apisdn -- ## 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/
