In my current state, that looks good. In the morning, I may disagree
with my current view. :^)

Your new friends for this evening are "exim -d<number>" and tcpdump.

# tcpdump -vvvni lo0 host 127.0.0.1 and port 1025

(try a manual telnet to the port, to ensure that you are dumping on the
correct interface)

"exim -d9" + other options will reveal a lot of debugging info.

"exim -bP log_file_path | sed 's/%s/main/'" gives you the name of the
main log file. That should give a lot of information about what things
were attempted.

If the message is still on the queue, as shown by "exim -bpu", then take
the message-id and provide it as a parameter to "exim -Mvl". That's
Message-view-log. The results will show, for each delivery attempt
made, why the message is still on the queue.
