But my server, and thus the customer's domain, is not inside the AOL
network. I am sure I have failed to explain some critical bit of
information that would clarify this. If my user cannot get to my SMTP
server to generate the email (from their domain) in the first place,
what does it matter if AOL will later relay it?

I sincerely apologize, it was indeed a mis-read of the logs. There was
a message relayed to you, but it was not from you. My mistake. Two
mistakes, really. I had an error in my ACL which permitted relaying
from the localhost, and incoming mail on port 465, picked up by Stunnel,
appeared to Exim to be coming from the localhost. So, it saw a letter
(to me) that included you on the address list, and dutifully relayed a
copy to you. Then, I mis-read the log.

I publicly and abjectly apologize.
