I assume that this "domain.com" is the same as the domain below.

Look at your mail logs (maybe /var/log/maillog or /var/log/exim/*log) for
further details.

Notice that is says "Connection refused". Why is it refused?

That host in the mail exchanger for that domain name. Can you connect to
it manually (with "telnet ennovatenetworks.com 25")?

I believe your log files may tell you what you want to know.

If you need further help, provide more details. Troubleshooting mail
problems is fun :)

(Also, you may want to consider using a subject line that is descriptive
of the topic of your message.)
