Hmmm, according to Exim configure file:
    rbl_domains = rbl.maps.vix.com


And a dig on linux.crynwr.com -> 192.203.178.39

So, this should resolve IF l-c-c is in the RBL:
    % nslookup 192.203.178.39.rbl.maps.vix.com
    Server:  localhost
    Address:  127.0.0.1


    Name:    192.203.178.39.rbl.maps.vix.com
    Address:  127.0.0.2


But a similar address shouldn't:
    % nslookup 192.203.178.40.rbl.maps.vix.com
    Server:  localhost
    Address:  127.0.0.1


    *** localhost can't find 192.203.178.40.rbl.maps.vix.com: Non-existent
    host/domain


Thus, I conclude that the configuration of linux.c-.c- is somehow broken.
Could it multiple IP addresses and thus sends the mail from the wrong IP, even
though its main address is valid.
