Good: add exceptions to exim.conf when you have to, then send polite (very 
important!) e-mails to the admins of those domains explaining why you need 
to route your own mail and stating that they are contravening the 
end-to-end principles of the internet and punishing the innocent with the 
guilty.  If enough people do this, they may see reason.


Don't you think it's arrogant to say that home users have no right to 
route their own mail?

Maybe you're lucky to live in a place where five good ISPs are all 
competing for your business so they have to provide great service, but 
here in the real world I have one broadband supplier.
