no. this email i'm writing to you now will be sent by exim via the new
DSL provider through the smarthost and with authentication (it does not
work without authentication).
Tweaking the script and forcing client_send value makes all things work.
This is the strange thing. It seems that client_send is not correctly
computed when my default routing is different. Maybe the problem is with
DNS but i'm using same dns for both providers and it is not giving any
other problem but i'm willing to investigate if someone gives me some 
guidance.
