Try it with exim -d -bh 1.1.1.1 , this will give you much more
informations.

My debugoutput for this says "DNS lookup of iprolink.com (MX) gave
TRY_AGAIN", so exim receives a defer from the DNS-Server, and so the
verify defers.

You can verify this with
dig @ns1.iprolink.ch iprolink.com MX, this will return a SERVFAIL-error.

It's either a misconfigured DNS-server, or just a spammer :)
