OK lester, there are a few interesting pieces of info. You are using the dns server "192.168.111.1" It reports DNS lookup of alumni.caltech.edu (MX) gave NO_DATA DNS lookup of alumni.caltech.edu (A) succeeded 131.215.49.51 in "0.0.0.0 : 127.0.0.0/8"? no (end of list) i.e. alumni.caltech.edu has no special mailer exchange but uses the regular address 131.215.49.51 I have verified that a mail server is responding at that address. Its HELO name is alumnus.caltech.edu checking status of alumni.caltech.edu locking /var/spool/exim/db/retry.lockfile locked /var/spool/exim/db/retry.lockfile opened hints database /var/spool/exim/db/retry: flags=0 dbfn_read: key=T:alumni.caltech.edu:131.215.49.51 dbfn_read: key=T:alumni.caltech.edu:131.215.49.51:HGOM19-0000UC-QA no message retry record address match: [EMAIL PROTECTED] pattern=* alumni.caltech.edu in "*"? yes (matched "*") [EMAIL PROTECTED] in "*"? yes (matched "*") retry time not reached: checking ultimate address timeout alumni.caltech.edu [131.215.49.51] status = unusable This means that there have been previous failures reaching alumni.caltech.edu and that exim won't even try for now. There must be a switch to bypass that delay but simply deleting /var/spool/exim/db/retry and running the test again should do the trick. Make a note of its ownership/permissions and restore them after the test, because the file will be recreated under your name, and no the one of the mailserver (SYSTEM, probably).
