I think I figured out what caused this. I created a new filter router
and I copied an existing file and then edited it. It was only in that
state for a few seconds and wasn't supoosed to be active by I think a
cron job restarted exim at the same time. The message was rejected at
the time I was doing this. Makes me wonder what else I rejected because
if what I think happened - it would have rejected everything.
