AFAIK, the exploder in Strasbourg _only_ serves France.
There is a solution if you can convince the exploder admin in Strasbourg to go along. The key that zmailer is looking for is probably the 8BITMIME responce to a EHLO esmtp message. If the mailer they're using at Strasbourg is 8 bit clean, just add it to the section of code that replies to the EHLO message and recompile. Many 8 bit clean mailers don't send the 8BITMIME message because while they can handle 8 bit mail the rfc for mailers handling this specifies they must also be able to do multipart transforms when passing the mail to non 8 bit clean mailers and most mailers don't. (and the ones that do, like zmailer, just seem to piss people off)
