The clue is in the error message - your java application is sending an
improperly-formed HELO or EHLO. By default, Exim (correctly) rejects this.
The proper way to fix it is to make the Java RFC-compliant. It probably
can't resolve your hostname properly - I've seen this before with a
JavaMail-based app, but I can't remember how it got fixed.
But you can patch round the problem by making Exim less fussy - look for
helo_accept_junk_hosts in the Exim docs.
