Ah...I see. However what I didn't see is why exim is not delivering to
you via IPv6. Checking the logs, I found:

Apr 18 09:37:11 satan exim[23323]: 2002-04-18 09:37:11
16yEst-00070J-00 sh1.iijlab.net [3ffe:507:0:1:260:97ff:fe07:69ea]:
Connection timed out

After which exim then sends the mail to the IPv4 host.

- Not to mention, I can't reach any of your hosts from my
machine(3ffe:1200:3028:8d6b::1). But I think this might be
my/your(?) tunnel broker/connection related. Anyway, that's a
seconday problem.

Kind regards,
