Hi Steve...

this confirms what Reymond said... the linux box doesn't want to relay mail 
for you... this is the default setup in all reasonable MTA these days for 
reasons that should be obvious on this list.

You have to configure sendmail (or exim, or postfix, or zmailer) in your 
linux box so that it allows relaying for mails coming from the IP address of 
the exchange box.

I only know how you do this in zmailer, but I guess some sendmail guru out 
there will gladly help you with that.
