Subject: Re: [Exim] system_filter_exim + relaying through provider's SMTP

Presumable you are using a smarthost router? Can you paste its config
here? The mail you sent from your client appears to have been relayed by
209.226.175.26, yet this rejection is coming from 209.226.175.80. Now,
its possible that somehow you are relaying to the wrong server. Your
providers smtp smarthost should accept any syntactically correct mail
from you that is addressed to a valid address. Note that your providers
SMTP smarthost may or may _not_ be the same servers listed as MX records
for your (or your providers) domain - they will specifically tell you
what the SMTP relay server is - there is no way to guess it or derive it
from the DNS (There is no particular requirement for a smarthost to be
designated in the DNS, other than of course it needs to have a mapping
for its name to its IP address, but then so does any other named server)
