I've come in half way through this, I missed part 1, but I can make some 
comments on the exim mta...

disable rfc 1413 idents in your exim config to avoid timeout problems.

rfc1413_query_timeout = 0s

for exim version 4 but I think this will work for version 3.

Disable IP literals on an MTA. My I be flamed forever for suggesting it!

Its not turned on in exim 4 by default, you have to use 
allow_domain_literals. Which is why I assume your MTA is exim version 3. 
 From memory use forbid_domain_literals as the comment suggests in the 
main part of your config file, I don't think it takes any values. All 
this assumes you are not using domain literals to send email.

Exim doco is a www.exim.org.
