Severity: important

I know this has been dealt with allready, but watever remained that cased
this to partualy work has vanished.  My dynamic IP needs to use my ISPs
smarthost for anti spam reasons.  This makes my nated systems unable to
receve E-Mail, as well as any other domains I wish to relay for.

I'm not sure what changed to make this break, nor do I know why it's broken.
The only thing I know is when I send mail to cheako@filbert.is-a-geek.org,
it dosen't arrive.

After reading up on RFC2308, your DNS server shouldn't be returning
NXDOMAIN on the MX query when there is an A record present. Please
file a bug against your DNS resolver or yell at whoever is actually
running it.

Not an exim issue, closing the bug.
