It looks like the perl script is making its connection to your real IP
address, so it will appear to be _coming_ from your real IP address.
Assuming that 213.84.142.121 really is the IP address of your server,
you could add an:
accept hosts = 213.84.142.121
before the deny.
Or, tell the perl script to connect to 127.0.0.1 instead, and then make
sure 127.0.0.1 is allowed to relay.
