Ok, it looks like you've got amavis in there. Did your bounces work
correctly before you added that in? If so, there is presumably some
problem with that.

I see 3 message ids in the log excerpt above:

16b0KI-0007MI-00:

This last one appears to be the bounce message - look for additional log
entries with that ID to see what happened to it. Perhaps its still in
the spool. Try:

exim -v -M 16b0KI-0007MM-00

to try to force it to be delivered. If it gives an error, try:

exim -9 -v -M 16b0KI-0007MM-00

to get more detail on what happened
