MX is not required. do you have a DNS record for your domain (like you claim in the subject) or do you only have an IP address? You probably need to configure [123.456.789.012] as one of the domains that exim accepts for. you may need to enable IP literal domains too. -- Jasen. -- ## 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/
