Subject: [Exim] Need help with open relay problem
I'm getting some bounces because of ORDB, but I can't figure out where I'm
misconfigured. This is a box I use for a web server and a secondary email,
exchanger, running exim 3.36 from Debian. I also originate emails to paying
customers with several perl scripts from this box, and these are what is
getting bounced.

Here are the headers for the probe that ORDB is saying gets passed through:
