Hello-

Am running exim 4.34 w/ exiscan on a Suse 9.0 box, and wish to run spamd on
a different system, which (unfortunately) has a dynamic ip address.

If I specify the remote spamd in my exim configuration file by ip address,
everything works fine... but if I specify it as a hostname
(<myhost>.dyndns.org), then exim fails to contact the remote spamd and logs
entries like this to paniclog:

2004-06-13 12:32:15 1BZTDi-0000Mk-Ti spam acl condition: all spamd servers
failed
2004-06-13 12:32:15 1BZTDi-0000Mk-Ti spam acl condition: warning - spamd
connection to <myhost>.dyndns.org, port 783 failed: Network is unreachable
2004-06-13 12:32:15 1BZTDi-0000Mk-Ti spam acl condition: all spamd servers
failed
2004-06-13 12:32:15 1BZTDi-0000Mk-Ti spam acl condition: warning - spamd
connection to <myhost>..dyndns.org, port 783 failed: Network is unreachable

However, from the exim box I can connect to the remote spamd via telnet
using either its hostname or ip address.  Any suggestions?  Have I done
something daft in the configuration?

TIA for any help...
