'zorac' sent mail to 'keylime'. Before accepting the message, 'keylime' connected back to 'zorac' to perform a sender verify. As this point, exim on 'keylime' did not wait for the 220 which signifies the end of the banner, and instead sent some date to 'zorac' (possibly 'HELO'). When this happened, 'zorac' said "Input before banner from keylime.silverwraith.com" "Input before banner" means 'keylime' (the system doing the sender verify callout) did not wait for the end of the banner, and instead decided to send some data anyway. It is equivilent to the Exim error: SMTP protocol violation: synchronization error (input sent without waiting for greeting) How's that? :-) -- Avleen Vig Systems Administrator Doing virtual domain hosting with Exim?
