For those whom:
1) Dont trust the reliabilty of their ISP's SMTP services
2) Would perfer to communicate directly with external SMTP servers
3) Dont have other broadband options/providers
4) On a static IP which is listed in a large DUL block
5) Are on a tight budget

Is it possible to configure Exim for sending directly, and if that
attempt fails, depending on the error reported automatically relay
through a smarthost instead?

Thanks,
