1. resolv and dns
2, correct hostname
3. dnslookup in exim config - * for domains
4. PTR

Can you explain the process, right now, I've disabled it by renaming /etc/exim/domains/domain.com file,
I'm using Centos6

Update: my server name is server.domain.com

1. resolv and dns
Make sure, you have your resolv file and there is google dns or address for resolv other domains

/etc/resolv.conf

Code: Select all

domain pxe.local
search pxe.local
nameserver 8.8.8.8

2, correct hostname
In many cases hostname need to be correct. There is info about hostname - https://wiki.debian.org/GmailAndExim4

3. dnslookup in exim config - * for domains

It's a part in /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template - ROUTERS CONFIGURATION section

Code: Select all

dnslookup:
  driver = dnslookup
  domains = *
  transport = remote_smtp
  no_more

4. PTR
You can ask your hosting provider add PTR - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_DNS_lookup
