I've created a new message here for more details, should I have  
replied to Dave's message instead?

Anyway, I've tried running

sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config

and entered manually all the details, exim has restarted but I'm still  
getting exactly the same error message.

I'm going to check with our networks team to see if they have allowed  
the connection I think, best to double check.

In general, if you're using "update-exim4.conf" and all that stuff,  
you might
find you're better off asking on the mailing lists specific to your
distribution.  The documentation that came with your package will  
point you in
the right direction.

H=localhost ([193.63.150.187]) [127.0.0.1]
means that the connection came from 127.0.0.1 (and the name of that  
host is
"localhost"), and that the client on that connection then said "HELO
[193.63.150.187]").  So 193.63.150.187 isn't the IP address, it's the  
HELO
name.
