Apologies. I have overlooked the fact that the relayrouter was
invovled in the failed deliveries:


The relayrouter:

relayrouter:
driver = manualroute
domains = ! +local_domains
route_data = ${lookup pgsql {select distinct route from
smtprelayhosts2 where
host = '$domain' limit 1}}
transport = remote_smtp

I suspect a problem in the exchange server to which most the mail gets
delivered.

Maybe another question will clear up something for me:

When I look in

/etc/exim/spool/input/Z/1BfzuZ-00048E-00-H

I see entries like(I have changed the usernames except my own):

YY a@???
NN a@???
YY jspies@???
YY s@???
NN s@???
YY son@???
YN son@???

The email for j was delivered directly to his pc as it should. Email
for s@??? should be delivered at s@??? and the
same with users son and a in the above example.

What does YY, NN and YN stand for?

j received his email but s, a and son not.

In the entries for these addresses in the message log:

     "Seeing then that we have a great high priest who has
      gone into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us
      hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not
      have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with
      our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in
      every way, just as we are-yet was without sin."
