No, it's because marc_news is a post only address (as the name would imply),
and you can't send mail directly to it unless you are answering a post I
made. That said, there was no need to Cc me, I read postmaster@???
All that said, for sourceforge users, we ask if at all possible, that you
submit a support request on the sf.net web site.
It's also a bad idea to send this both to postmaster@??? and the exim
users list. All the posts are going to be blocked due to addresses not being
subscribed.
I've removed postmaster@sf from the Cc line.
If you want, you are welcome to continue on the exim list or with
postmaster@sf depending on whether you have exim questions or you are
service issues with sf.net

The exim and the OS on sf.net are not IPV6 fully aware.
They probably will be at some point, but they aren't yet.
That said, it should then fallback to your IPV4 MXes, and it seemed to when
I ran it in debug mode:
fully qualified name = leviathan.lucifer.at
host_find_bydns yield = HOST_FOUND (2); returned hosts:

I'd say that whatever issue was there when exim outputted this:
