Murphy reached out and touched our site. Two versions of exim were
installed. The mailer daemon itself was running from /usr/local/exim/bin
while the other version was in the path of the root user, /usr/sbin/exim.
There were 2 configuration files, the one I was changing was not being
referenced by the daemon, so my command line test worked but they didn't
work for real. I only realised this after I had put a command line exim
into the background and did a ps list. Two different paths.
The actual which I initially implemented but did not work, for the above
reason, was to add the new domain to local_domains in the correct config
file and everything worked fine.
