Hm, well that's puzzling to me. Are you using a monolithic setup or
individual Exim4 config files ? Not that this should matter.
Could I trouble you to see what you have in your transport/router setup,
at your convenience of course ? Most mine appear uncommented.

Good suggestion.
I don't think so. Thunderbird works just fine sending smtp via
Yahoo/GMail without me needing to do anything special with the same
router -- It's a different box, and I didn't set up the debian box with
a firewall.
