I would add to bills reply
exim -bt is good but there is no substitute for telnet on port 25
Type in a shell or comand prompt
telnet server.domain 25
helo me
mail from: <>
rcpt to: root@???
data
Subject: test
test
.
if that doesnt send you mail them you are blocking.
Next what you do is get the message id from the mail headers and grep
the log for it. That will tell you who the envelope was to and how it
was expanded.
