I'm starting to look at this. The first thing that occurs to me is that
4XX is a temporary error which will not of itself cause the message to
be returned. The return will not happen until the retry time is
exceeded. Of course, you can set the retry time to zero, but logically
that's how Exim handles it. So I would have expected the message to be
"retry time exceeded" if anything. Can you confirm whether or not you
see that in your log? I will peer at the code and see if the 4XX error
message is still preserved, and then see if anything can be done.
