What port is ASSP listening on? 25?

This is Exim refusing to deliver to an MTA on the local host, since Exim
assumes that this would be routing the mail to itself and creating a
mail-loop.

Look up "allow_localhost" for the transport or "self = send" on the
Router, if assp is listening on port 25.

If assp is not the service listening on port 25, you probably want to
not call the Router "smarthost" since that's confusing; rename it
"assp_feed" and be sure that something is specifying the port.

exim-users is the correct place to ask.
