You didnt say which host the config items you reference are set in.
If they are in only wu.bogon.com, then the reason is that this message
was delivered to your server by mail1.toronto.istar.net, not by the
att.net host. Exim doesn't try to interpret the Received: lines that
were inserted by hosts that previously handled the message, nor can it.
(Although I suppose it might be able to interpret some standard header
inserted by other Exim systems)
If the configs you reference are on "mail1.toronto.istar.net", then
disregard this message, I'm not sure how it got thru but someone else
probably does.
