I did try that, "ehlo g2i.atypon.com", but it had the same result:

220 205.161.180.250.electrochem.org ESMTP Howdy and welcome to Electrochem
ehlo g2i.atypon.com
Connection closed by foreign host.

Which made me believe the problem lies at the remote smtp server.
A helo, followed by the usual smtp commands will send an email
successfully. But since the server reports itself as being able to
"speak" ESMTP it should allow the ehlo.

Configuration of our dns happened way before my time. I am not sure if
anything is configured incorrectly. If exim should ideally report itself
as g2i.atypon.com, then if possible, how would I change that?
