It is artedona.de. The Domain exist. They relay about our Mail-Server
which is located at 82.135.22.122. IMO DNS is correct.

No, the Nameserver are our own and monitoring does not notifiy a failure.

Tranmission from our Relay to comcast Server.

T 82.135.22.122:33469 -> 204.127.198.26:25 [AP]
MAIL FROM:<xyz@???> SIZE=29546..RCPT
TO:<xyz@???>..DATA..

And this is abnormal. Btw Comcast is the only one we have Problems with.

I think i was unclear, sorry but english is not my native language. What
i mean is that exim transmits the Mail FROM:, SIZE, RCPT TO and DATA in
one piece without waiting for the return code from comcast Server and so
it sees the From (not the to, my fault) like this <service@???>
SIZE=29546..RCPT and gives then back (correctly) that this is not a
valid sender Domain. I think the Problem here is that my exim waits near
to Time-Out from TCP Protocol because comcast Server doesn't answer.

Here is the log from one mail which could be send later:
