Subject: [exim] Frozen after mysterious error

I've been using Exim to relay mail to my host for a couple of years and
it has worked quite well. Though today I decided to upload photos to
flickr and I've come across a few problems.

Great it's working...

Though suddenly:

2006-04-02 17:03:18 1FPxYK-00017y-T4 ** hendry@??? R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost: SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<hendry@???>: host mail.khanworks.com [208.97.132.20]: 554 <hendry@???>: Recipient address rejected: Policy Rejection: Mysterious Error.                                             


2006-04-02 17:03:18 1FPxYK-00017y-T4 Frozen (delivery error message)

2006-04-02 17:03:18 1FPxYL-000182-4E ** xxxxvolume@??? R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost: SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<xxxxvolume@???>: host mail.khanworks.com [208.97.132.20]: 554 <xxxxvolume@???>: Recipient address rejected: Policy Rejection: Mysterious Error.

First off, who is giving me the "Mysterious Error"? My smtp? My hoster's
smtp? Or the recipient smtp?

I looked in the mailq to find loads of messages frozen. I always assumed
that once a message was frozen, it's not going anywhere. In the past
I've just deleted them. Though after finding:
http://exim.org/exim-html-4.60/doc/html/spec.html/ch14.html#id2569494
Would these frozen messages get retried? I am unsure.
