The fact that you posted parts of your exim.conf file made it
obvious to me... :-)

That would certainly be the simplest and quickest "fix". You
don't need smarthost configured since you're using Mozilla for
mail, which has it's own internal SMTP mechanism.
Then you need someone to actually test it from the outside for
you... I don't know if ORDB has a way of checking a mail
server for you, although it would make sense if they did.
