Yeah, we don't need all the meaningless junk from Outlook. The key thing
is the SMTP response.

Let's look at the message again:

The user "jmiranda" at your domain is not configured. (Don't use real
domains like "mydomain.com" in examples by the way! example.com and
example.net, amongst others, exist for that purpose... see
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2606.txt )

Do you manage the server in question? If so, you haven't configured the
user. If you think you have, run "exim -d -bt
jmiranda@???" and Exim will tell you what it's doing,
so you can find out what you did wrong.
