Running exim 4.1.x here with the following in the router section. Thoughts?
smart_route:
driver = manualroute
domains = ! +local_domains
transport = remote_smtp
ignore_target_hosts = 0.0.0.0 : 127.0.0.0/8
no_more
no_verify
no_expn
condition =
${lookup{$domain}partial-lsearch{/etc/exim/isp_route.lst}{true}{false}}
self = pass
route_list = * smtp-server.kc.rr.com bydns
