qualify_single sets an option for the resolver. It doesn't cause Exim do
do anything to the domain itself. Only widen_domains does that. Try
running with -d10 in order to see what the resolver is doing.

That is correct.

That looks as though the DNS resolver did indeed qualify the single
domain, and it then succeeded. What is the problem?
