The following log on the mail server (smarthost) indicates the problem as
-----------------

route_list = "* mail.sun.ac.za bydns_a"
* * F,2h,15m; G,16h,2h,1.5; F,4d,8h
---------------------
In the server's exim.conf:
----------------------------------
domainlist relay_domains = *sun.ac.za :
dbm;/etc/exim/relaydomains.db
hostlist relay_from_hosts = 146.232.0.0/16 : 192.168.0.0/24 :
127.0.0.1
-----------------------------------
So I figure it can't be a relaydomain problem.
I would appreciate some help on solving this problem.
