This happens here using dns server from different providers, happens on my
Win98, happens on my solaris server, and happens to other users ... no matter
wich dns server or platform you are using, it just happens.

I really don't know why, but when I get this error, I just try again
and all works ok.

Maybe you want this, not me. I just want to retry (maybe only one time) so
exim could be sure that this domain really does not exist and that the failure
is not a dns problem somewhere else.
