Thank you. Problem solved. I don't know if this is a bug or not, but
what happened was that exim attempted to lookup the 'localhost' that
local_rsmtp specified:

>>>>>> Remote deliveries >>>>>>

local_rsmtp transport entered
norman.walsh@???
using the transport's hosts: localhost
getting address for localhost
DNS lookup of localhost (MX) succeeded
fully qualified name = localhost.MYEMPLOYER.com
host_find_bydns yield = HOST_FOUND (2); returned hosts:
saturn.MYEMPLOYER.COM 192.9.25.2 5 511
lukla.MYEMPLOYER.COM 192.18.98.31 5 512
patan.MYEMPLOYER.COM 192.18.98.43 5 519
venus.MYEMPLOYER.COM 192.9.25.5 5 589
mercury.MYEMPLOYER.COM 192.9.25.1 15 1515
mondzo.MYEMPLOYER.COM 192.18.100.1 40 4038
mars.MYEMPLOYER.COM 192.9.22.1 40 4053
checking status of saturn.MYEMPLOYER.COM

Changing hosts=localhost to hosts=127.0.0.1 fixed that problem and now
deliver works as expected.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
