Possible scenario:

You have sender verification enabled. A host sends you

MAIL FROM:<xxx@???>

In the DNS, Exim finds

some.domain. MX n 209.237.12.112.29.

It therefore tries to look up 209.237.12.112.29 as a host name, in order
to find its IP address.

But if that is true, there should be some reject logging at around the
same time...
