Oooh good, my favourite rant :-)

What form does this 'refusal to run' take?

If you go looking in the Exim logs, there's a very good chance you'll
find a clue as to what you've done wrong. Even if it doesn't help you,
posting the log messages here will almost certainly help us to help
you.

(This is meant to be constructive, even if it doesn't seem like it)
