Yours. That's also why you are not getting any mail!

Try "netstat -t" to see who is connected.

You haven't got some strange routing going on like mail (inadvertently
perhaps) looping out and back into the same machine via a different IP or
something have you? That might also explain the blizzard of e-mails...

If you're still having problems, just go through your Exim config file
carefully, test lots of things with exim -d -bt add@ress etc. If all else
fails, grab a test machine, install Exim from scratch with a clean config
and rebuild it from there, step-by-step using the config you want. At some
point you will hopefully see it go from working to not, at which point
you've found the problem.
