Assuming that you're using exim4, check you
/etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf file for the wrong IP addresses. If
you find any, follow the instructions at the top of the file.
Assuming that you have written yourself an email on the same box, what
error messages do you get? What does mailq say? Are you having exim do
a reverse DNS lookup for every mail?
