You are correct. Exim should only bounce messages after a host has been
down for the full retry time. This is a tricky area of the code which
has had problems in the past. Now that your problem has gone away, I'm
not sure exactly how I can proceed to try to figure out what happened.
Eyeballing the code doesn't always show up anything, but I'll take a
look, just in case.
