I'm not sure either. There is no code in Exim that returns a value of 1
from a transport process. If it had crashed, it should have given a
different return value.

The first failure happened at 07:42:27. I'm surprised not to see a "=="
log line for the message following those entries. Was there one?

The surprising entry happened at 08:34:26, which I assume was a
different delivery attempt. What is your configuration? Is is pretty
standard?

At the moment, I get a timeout when trying to connect to 64.251.21.24.

Are you seeing lots of these? Does a forced delivery always work?
