Isn't it always somethign stupid.
I thought exim logged everything to /var/log/exim/{main,panic,reject}log, so that's
where I was looking for errors. Especially since *some* messages would appear in
paniclog. (The IPv4 message)
Turned out I rotated the logs by hand, and muffed the ownerships, and *that* error
got written to /var/log/messages.
Fixing the ownerships fixed the problem.
My apologies for the false alarm.
