exim4 and hostnames


On my machine within the hemispheregps.com network, I have setup exim4 with

Code:
navi:~> less /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf
dc_eximconfig_configtype='internet'
dc_other_hostnames='navi'
dc_local_interfaces='127.0.0.1'
dc_readhost=''
dc_relay_domains=''
dc_minimaldns='false'
dc_relay_nets=''
dc_smarthost=''
CFILEMODE='644'
dc_use_split_config='false'
dc_hide_mailname=''
dc_mailname_in_oh='true'
dc_localdelivery='mail_spool'
However when I send to emails from XXXX@coletek.org to XXXX@hemispheregps.com they get stuck in my queue:

Code:
navi:~> sudo exim -bp
42h  1.7K 1LZeXT-0000Xh-R4 <XXXX@coletek.org>
          XXXXX@hemispheregps.com

42h  4.1K 1LZeZ9-0000Xp-Hy <XXXX@coletek.org>
          XXXXX@hemispheregps.com

18h  1.8K 1La0w4-0001lR-JE <XXXX@coletek.org>
          XXXXX@hemispheregps.com
When I use swaks to to send emails from a external machine I see I need connect to hemispheregps.com.s7a1.psmtp.com:25 (IP: 64.18.6.14) not hemispheregps.com:25 (IP: 216.81.182.231)

So I edited /etc/hosts

Code:
navi:~> less /etc/hostsi
64.18.6.14      hemispheregps.com
However when I run exim -qff it still wishes to connect to 216.81.182.231 not 64.18.6.14

Arr... Any ideas how to get exim to send XXXX@hemispheregps.com emails to 64.18.6.14 and not 216.81.182.23?
