Occasionally I am getting a user complaining about a message bouncing
with this error message.

But when I look at the header of the message he sent, it was actually
recieved by our mailer the exact time it was bounced. i.e.
> Received: from 204.191.202.153 [204.191.202.153]

For the above error. I have the following retry line in my configure
file.
* * F,8h,30m; G,16h,2h,1.5; F,4d,8h
So I'm a bit confused. Is exim screwing up and confusing this delivery
attempt with others to the same host or something? Except for the first
field of the default retry configuration I changed to try a bit more
often I can't see any reason for this.
