Oops. Sorry, yes, that is from the second server, which is indeed running
Sendmail. However, the Exim server reports:
33h 2.5K 17H7V1-0004bs-00 <chimera@???>

33h 2.7K 17H7Vu-0004bz-00 <chimera@???>

I am rerunning the mailq now, after deleting everything in the /db directory
(so it would stop giving me 'retry time not exceeded'). It is taking a
while, however.

That gives me enough to at least talk to them about it. I was wondering if
I was somehow listed on the RBL.

Is there a way to configure Exim at all to communicate with this?
