The information about the error should be in Exim's log. It doesn't log
which retry rule, but you should be able to deduce that (or use -brt).

For some people, "right" means "do not give out internal information to
external users". In other words, they don't want details to be included
in bounce messages. You can set smtp_return_error_details to liberalize
the default a bit, but I don't think it applies in this situation.
