Well, this is what I get from -bv and -bt:
[marcus:marcus.uphamscornercs.net/Users/marlier] foc# exim -bt
marlier@???
marlier@???
router = spamcheck_router, transport = spamcheck
[marcus:marcus.uphamscornercs.net/Users/marlier] foc# exim -bv
marlier@???
marlier@??? verified
[marcus:marcus.uphamscornercs.net/Users/marlier] foc#

So it looks like the transport is fine for delivery, and the address
verifies...usually...

Arg. This is starting to annoy me...

Thanks for your help...if anything else pops to mind let me know...
