Okay, reading up on Exim, I tried to resend everything in the queue using:
exim -q -v
And I got a bunch of these:
LOG: queue_run MAIN
Start queue run: pid=3520
delivering 1GqBX7-0004ZP-Cd (queue run pid 3520)
LOG: retry_defer MAIN

What does that mean? Is there a problem with Exim or Postfix?
Thanks again.
