For completions' sake, here's the log-entries I have from both sides:
Exim's mainlog:
2001-11-12 20:27:43 163MkB-0007jU-00 <= wilco@???
H=manhattan.unsavoury.net [62.250.7.49] P=esmtp S=307
2001-11-12 20:27:44 163MkB-0007jU-00 => wilco <wilco@???>
D=localuser T=local_delivery
2001-11-12 20:27:44 163MkB-0007jU-00 Completed
And the corresponding entries in Postfix's maillog:

Finally, the actual headers of the message:

I shall run some more tests tonight, and see if there's anything else that
I can come up with. Please note that I am by no means an expert in this
field but I shall try and gather as much as I possible can.
