Default Re: not permitted to relay through this server - huh???

Hello Chris,

When a client submits a mail to the exim MTA that is not directed to
one of exim's local_domains, exim will automagically think that it is
an attempt to relay.

But most probably your exim's temporary confusion about that question
has been caused by the DNS problems you mentioned: If the MTA asks for
name resolution and receives wrong results, exim will fail in
onterpreting if mails are to accept for local or remote delivery...

Regards,
Christian
