I'm seeing mail stuck in the queue with the following. Nearly always
from Yahoo - although yesterday I had three sent to gmail that
returned this until a fourth mail was sent then suddenly all four
mails went thru.

This is being returned _at the same time_ that I can ping the IP
addresses. I'm not at all clear who is returning the message (me or
Yahoo) and if so - what the message is trying to tell me.
I was wondering if this has anything to do with the previous change
made (setting the outgoing IP for a domain to one of the 6 on the box).
The sending address is rscounselling.co.uk. This has MX
rscounselling.co.uk. 54731 IN MX 5
family.chrissearle.org.
Which in turn is
family.chrissearle.org. 801 IN A 78.47.168.122
And the sending IP set in the remote_smtp transport is (from /etc/
exim4/interfaces)
rscounselling.co.uk: 78.147.168.122
78.147.168.122 is one of the IP aliases on this box.
It all looks about right to me?
I'm confused :(
