Mmmh, looking at it further, it looks like you're right.

I got  confused as  to who was  checking whom, but  you're right,  they have
broken SMTP callback.
2002-07-05 20:15:25 H=smail.info (deep.smail.info) [193.165.168.18]:52108 sender
 verify fail for <sa-exim-bounces@localhost.smail.info>: Unrouteable address
2002-07-05 20:15:25 H=smail.info (deep.smail.info) [193.165.168.18]:52108 F=<sa-
exim-bounces@localhost.smail.info> rejected RCPT <aly.dharshi=smail.info@merlins
.org>: Sender verify failed

What confuse(d/s) me, are the headers of the mail mailman supposedly sent:

The To: just looks wrong

Actually it's an SMTP callback.

Yep,   but  I'm   only   complaining  because   the   callback  address   is
incorrect. They do a callback  to aly.dharshi=smail.info@merlins.org, and if
this was my envelope sender when I sent mail to them, it sure is incorrect.

I'm still not convinced  that there isn't a problem with  my side, but there
is something wrong with the other side first, so I'll start with that.
