What makes you think the problem is with the server software?

If it were my server you were trying to connect to, this would mostly
likely mean that you had been trying to crack my server and had been
blocked. Perhaps your client is also running malicious software?

I have two sites running hMailserver and they interact very well with all
the servers running Exim, which I also manage. You introductory paragraph
is just mote it not supported by evidence.
Maybe the question belongs to the forums for those applications. Exim has
no problem and acts the way it is instructed to.

That bit there is the important info.  Unfortunately, they didn't say
what IP they tried to connect from, and unless you can infer anything
else about them (such as IPs used by previous messages from them that
you did accept), you need it to search for in your logs.  You might
have to contact the operator of tha system and ask.

Then: search your Exim mainlog for connections from that IP.  If there
is one that matches the expected date/time, what was logged about it?

If none such: do you run a firewall?  What about its logs?

[exim] Windows based Mail servers and exim

2023-02-07 Thread The Doctor via Exim-users
Wonder if anyone has notice a problem with
Windows based server like Exchange or spamrtmail
sending to exim servers

Got this from a client

Your message wasn't delivered. Despite repeated attempts to deliver your 
message, the recipient's email system refused to accept a connection from your 
email system.

Contact the recipient by some other means (by phone, for example) and ask them 
to tell their email admin that it appears that their email system is refusing 
connections from your email server. Give them the error details shown below. 
It's likely that the recipient's email admin is the only one who can fix this 
problem.

For Email Admins
No connection could be made because the target computer actively refused it. 
This usually results from trying to connect to a service that is inactive on 
the remote host - that is, one with no server application running. For more
