I found the problem myself, after some Google searching -- turns out I 
needed to be saying:

    route del -net 64.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 dev eth1

The route is now fixed, and I can now get to my client's mailserver.

(I'm somewhat annoyed at the route(8) man page, as it listed "-net|-host", 
"netmask Nm", and "[dev] If" all in brackets, making it appear that they're 
optional parameters.)
