Ping works

Okay.

So Exim is NOT listening on that interface!

So create a router _above_ the one you have called smarthost, viz:

modis_hub_route:
driver = manual_route
domains = modis.bigelow.org
transport = remote_smtp
route_data = 10.2.0.70 25
same_domain_copy_routing
no_more

I think you have edited exim.conf on this machine and specified that it
should only listen on the loopback interface.
So look for the line and change it from what it is to the following:


local_interfaces = <; 127.0.0.1 ; 10.2.0.70 25

Restart the Exim instance and try the "exim -bt" and "telnet" commands from
before!
