That looks like the problem that I had last week, it is trying to follow referrals
but cannot access the servers that it has been referred to. You need to give the option
referrals=nofollow
as an ldap parameter (after user=... pass=...).
Since I only sent in the patch for the referrals option last week it is not in
main line exim (yet), so download the exim-snapshot from:
ftp.exim.org:/pub/exim/Testing
Please let us know if it works and what your OS, etc, are.
Cheers
