I have a dial-up connection and have been using
fetchmail/smail/pine for incoming/outgoing e-mail, smail being
only used for local delivery of the mail that was fetched by
fetchmail from my popbox at <pop.knoware.nl>, while pine
handled outgoing mail, using <smtp.casema.net> as smarthost.
This all worked fine.
I want to switch to a fetchmail/exim/exmh constellation. After
some puzzling, incoming mail is handled ok now, but I have a
problem with outgoing mail [details below] and although I have
gone through quite some documentation and e-mail archives, I
cannot figure out how to solve this.
I hope somebody on this list can help me.

Problem:
When I try to send a message from exmh, I get this error
message:
ewesselius at hotmail.com: loses; [USER] 550 relaying to
<ewesselius@???> prohibited by administrator
post: 1 addressee undeliverable
send: message not delivered to anyone
while the Exim rejectlog has recorded:
2000-08-23 11:21:27 refused relay (host reject) to
<ewesselius@???> from <erik225@farolito>
H=farolito [127.0.0.1] (erik225)
To my surprise
$exim -bt ewesselius@???
returns:
ewesselius@???
deliver to ewesselius@???
router = smarthost, transport = remote_smtp
host smtp.casema.net [195.96.96.12]
which looks pretty good to me.
What's happening?
P.S. My exim.conf file
