As I understand it, there are two cases in what you're calling 'unresolvable':

1) a dns server indicates the domain does not exist. In this case, exim
will give up immediately.

2) a dns sever indicates it can't answer the question of whether the
domain exists right now. Exim will retry.

I believe philip hazel said much the same thing earlier on this thread.
