I found a solution late last night by using a "/etc/exim4/hubbed_hosts 
file" and listing the other hosts in my network there (See"man 
exim4-config_files" for the example they give). It seems that my 
situation would be quite common, but searching the internet for the 
better part of the day resulted in no solutions for this.

I would still be interested in what you did to solve this.
