Yes - it looks like they're doing some kind of sender verify, but they
send data without waiting for the helo reply, so exim rejects that. :(
Today, a few messages went through, and then it stopped again. I've
tried writing their postmaster, but had the same result - I guess they
don't exempt postmaster from the checks. If this continues, I'll send
an email through a smarthost to them - maybe that'll work.
