I'm running exim with a CPanel setup. However, I am checking var/log/exim_rejectlog and am not seeing a single issue going to this hotmail account. its just not listed. but the email is not going in.
i tried this:
exim -bt MYEMAIL@hotmail.com
MYEMAIL@hotmail.com
router = lookuphost, transport = remote_smtp
host mx4.hotmail.com [65.54.188.72] MX=5
host mx4.hotmail.com [65.54.188.94] MX=5
host mx4.hotmail.com [65.55.37.88] MX=5

host mx4.hotmail.com [65.55.92.136] MX=5
host mx4.hotmail.com [65.55.92.152] MX=5
