Egads indeed! Late October? We rebuild our DNS zones every working day...

Why is it rejecting? Is it because your Exim can't do a reverse lookup
on the IP address, or is the sender verification failing? What's the
error message? (Or alternatively, what is the entry in your rejectlog?)
There is probably a way to do it, but it depends on which check is
failing.
