As I understand it, exim will try to use the host 'primus' to deliver
your mail.  Judging by your email address, your ISP is primus, so the
host you want here is probably something like 'mail.primus.com.au'.

Mozilla does not use your local mail system (exim) by default; you've
probably set Mozilla's outgoing mail server to something like
mail.primus.com.au already.
