exim4 problems in oneiric

**nardis_Miles1** · June 11th, 2012

I have installed oneiric on a 32-bit machine that has, in the past, run exim4 easily. I cannot receive any email. My mainlog file is full of errors like:

2012-06-10 08:40:43 H=etrn.swcp.com [216.184.2.71] F=<ubuntu-users-bounces@lists.ubuntu.com> temporarily rejected RCPT <edwardsa@icantbelieveimdoingthis.com>

I ran MXTool on my domain and everything looks good (good Rdns, good dns, etc.)

Any insight would be helpful.

Looks like grey listing, do you have that as an option anywhere?

**nardis_Miles1** · June 11th, 2012

I haven't set grey listing anywhere.

Tried taking out your anti-spam rules?

**nardis_Miles1** · June 11th, 2012

As naive as this sounds, I have no antispam settings in exim4. I deal with that using filtering after pop3.

After I turned off TLS, the mailer worked. Any experience with TLS errors?

Interesting, I would have thought if there were TLS issues the emails would be getting rejected outright.

I'm just about to get started into that TLS/SSL SSMTP/mail side of things, but alas at this point in time, it's just a really strange issue to me :/
