Thanks for the replies. I solved it two days after this post. I don't
remember the solution now, something about allowed IP addresses/subnets.
I couldn't fix it with the eximconf program, I had to edit the file
manually. Seemed silly to me, but it's fixed. If anyone's interested,
I'll have a look through the config file and see what it was I
changed/added. (Just a diff with exim.conf.old should do it). Anyway, it
was on a sparc, so maybe this problem doesn't exist on intels.
Thanks again.
