Is 207.46.176.152 a running system? I cannot ping it from here. Did you
modify the default configuration? I see that msn.com has lots of MX
records pointing to hosts *other* than msn.com [207.46.176.152]. Maybe
that host doesn't listen. What does
exim -bt davidturetsky@???
say? For me, it says
davidturetsky@???
deliver to davidturetsky@???
router = lookuphost, transport = smtp
