localhost:
 #transport      = bsd_smtp
 transport      = remote_smtp
 driver         = manualroute
 route_list     = +localqmail 127.0.0.1::8125
 self           = send


works great ;)

And with that.. I was able to figure out why the others work and this one
didn't..

SELF            =       172.16.64.6 : 127.0.0.1
local_interfaces        = SELF


All the other boxes have SELF defined as the local ip and *not* the
loopback..

So my bug/problem was that exim already saw that 127.0.0.1 was 'exim' and
never checked to see if it was anything else b/c it was listening on it..
even though I was telling it to go to a different port.

Thank you ;)
