What is interesting is that, If I traceroute the IP address without the
-I option I get timeouts, but with the -I works fine. For example:

I don't really know why I keep getting this message.
Is there anything I can change inside Exim to stop these messages? Or
maybe the way it talks to the other server. I spoke with Bellsouth and
they say nothing is wrong in their side. But they told me that they
don't accept UDP datagrams to those servers.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
