There may not be a problem at all. It might just be a greylisting
implementation.

You're sending it, but they are returning a 451 defer code for it so
it wasn't accepted. DATA had already been sent because PIPELINING is
in effect. The pipelining makes the log a little harder to parse.

Pipelining was advertised, so exim sent all three commands above
without waiting for responses.

This is the response to the MAIL FROM:

This is the response to the RCPT TO:

The initial session looks OK, but now your exim is retrying after
only 8 seconds. That seems wrong to me, it should wait a decent
interval before retrying. What is your retry configuration?
