It is because you are using xbl.selwerd.cx as a DNSBL. I would not
recommend using them - on their website they do not even recommend using
them themselves!! They are a bit 'rabid'.
In your Exim configure file find the section about DNS Black lists. Below
is what I use. I have even recently taken off blackholes.wirehub.net
because they have policy of blocking a whole netblock if there is one
spammer in the netblock. Personally I believe that is going a bit far.
PS
# Block mail from hosts on Spamhaus and/or ORDB lists
deny message = Rejected because $sender_host_address is in black
list at $dnslist_domain\n$dnslist_text
dnslists = dynablock.wirehub.net : relays.ordb.org :
sbl.spamhaus.org
# blackholes.wirehub.net was used, taken off currently
