Is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx routeable from the Exim server? Try 'telnet
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 25' from a shell prompt. Seems likely that it's not.
As for why it isn't - you'd need to look at the network topology. Are
both servers behind the same NATing firewall, perhaps, and the
external IP for the Exchange server isn't routeable from the inside,
or does the firewall just eat the packets?
