You probably have Exim setup to do receiver verification, and
192.168.0.206 doesn't reverse-resolve on your local DNS. (It has to be
local DNS, since that IP address is reserved for private networks.)

Easy fix is to turn off receiver verification for your local network,
eg.
receiver_verify_hosts = !192.168.0.0/8

or
receiver_verify_hosts = !192.168.0.0/16

(depending on how big your local network is).
