Help!
Our mail-system will not send email to a machine in Russia! Forcing delivery
of one of the stuck emails via results in:
/usr/lib/exim/bin/exim -v -M 0zK2NU-0003x8-00
delivering message 0zK2NU-0003x8-00

If however I telnet to this machine I get:

It appears that Exim is waiting for a response of some sort from the remote
machine before timing out. Is this a problem with our machine config or is
it a problem their end? I notice that we have a few messages for other
machines that are stuck in a similar way...
However, running exim -d also works:
mercury# ./exim -d hjhjjhjhjhj@???
