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."
Hebrews 4:14,15
