These log lines show that Exim delivered the message to 207.172.4.99
successfully. If it didn't get delivered, the problem is on that host,
and I guess you'll have to bother its postmaster.

I suppose you could run a delivery with -d to see what the SMTP dialogue
looks like. (I see that that host is running Exim, incidentally.) If you
do that, you can take the identifier that the server sends back on the
final OK response, and send it to the postmaster, saying "what happened
to this message?"
