   I've not done much fiddling with Exim recently so I'm somewhat rusty, but 
here goes :-)

   The -bt option is passing the address through the routers to see what 
happens to it, however I presume that the "relay not permitted" failure is 
coming from the acl_smtp_rcpt ACL which is vetting the SMTP envelope recipient 
addresses as they are received from the client, which happens before the 
routers can do any address transformations.

   If this is the case, then have you got the names of all the domains you are 
hosting on this server configured as being local domains, so that it will 
accept and process mail destined for them ?

      William.
