I just tried the extended logging as you suggested, and here's the output of
the last attempt before it gave up (it tried a whole host of yahoo hosts
first). I don't see anything in there that is helping me find the problem.
What other sorts of issues can cause these types of failures? Any other
ideas?
Has your machine got multiple interfaces and exim is choosing a different
one from the manual telnet command?
17:22:31 8470 Connecting to mta6.am0.yahoodns.net [98.138.112.38]:25 from
54.236.194.225 ... failed: Connection timed out (timeout=5m)
Exim has connected from 54.236.194.225 - is that what you were expecting?
For testing you can force an outbound interface on telnet with -b
telnet -b 54.236.194.225 mta6.am0.yahoodns.net smtp
