Mail not always delivered to all receipients

[wdeboer]

Hi,

I use an application that has to automatically send an (important) email to a few receipients. It worked for some time but now it appears that not evryone receives the mail. I do not understand the Exim log. Maybe someone can can directme to a solution.

After a fresh restart of Exim I get:

host lookup did not complete is quite specific.

For some reason your local system cannot get the IP# of the servers.

Is BIND running? Can you resolve these hosts from the command line running either dig or nslookup?
