I have a message stuck in my exim's queue. The recipient
is: melvin_holt@???
However, I get the following:
# exim -v -M 10kacx-0005Zf-00
delivering message 10kacx-0005Zf-00
LOG: 0 MAIN
== melvin_holt@??? R=lookuphost defer (-1): host lookup

Non-authoritative answer:

I tried exim -d9 -M 10kacx-0005Zf-00:

lookuphost router called for melvin_holt@???
dns lookup: route_domain = smtp2.irm.r9.fws.gov
DNS lookup of smtp2.irm.r9.fws.gov (MX) gave TRY_AGAIN
smtp2.irm.r9.fws.gov in dns_again_means_nonexist? no (end of list)
lookuphost router deferred smtp2.irm.r9.fws.gov

Any idea what might be wrong. I realise this might be a DNS issue, but I
just want to confirm it's not an exim problem.
