The issue was apparently the recipient of the bounceback was that *they*
didn't know how to get the headers I presume (so they in turn couldn't pass
them on so that Terry could look at them), however I guess he could search
his logfiles for the occurance of that persons email address and see what
he's got for that (probably not much that could be of use though).

A curious response...
The proof as others have mentioned is in the headers of the actual
messages and your server logs. Rather than pouring over the source code,
you should be pouring over those to learn the exact details of the
message.
You should then know for certain where, when and what caused the message
to get where it did and most likely whom to contact to inform them if they
have a problem instead of you.
If you don't know how to read the headers and log files, there are many
that can help you learn. Exim generates great easy to read mail logs that
make it easy to track messages. There are also several tools that come
with Exim to extract details from the logs.
It certainly is a good thing to learn and a skill you will use a lot if
you are going to administrate a mail server.
