I've not tracked it down properly yet - but I'm getting reports of
'Connection reset by peer' from sites trying to send us mail since we
upgraded from 2.01 to 2.04 last week.
I'll try and pin it down and give more details.

Subject: [EXIM] BUG: exim 2.04 (2.03) quitting with inconsistant DNS
>Hello,
>
>we just discovered the following exim bug in version 2.04 (here on Linux,
>probably 2.03 also, _not_ 2.02 with identical configuration):
>The daemon silently quits (yielding "connection closed" on the
>initiating side) if it gets an SMTP connect from a system with incorrectly
>configured DNS. In detail:
>System's IP address resolves to hostname sone.name, but sone.name has
>no A records at all, only NS (domain). Don't know if it also happens
>if there simply is no A record with the original address (but would think
>that this had been tested, concerning that this is a new feature in 2.03 -
>if the bug is not OS dependent).
>
>This should be fixed..
