Actually, he means "eg", not "ie". It's an example of a possible error, not
the only possible error. "Misspelled" means with the wrong spelling - a
typo. Another possibility is that there's no error in the configuration at
all. If you're trying to send email to a mail domain that isn't working,
then that will produce this report.

Please don't Google for answers. Exim has the best documentation of any
piece of software that I've ever used. You'll find it at
http://www.exim.org/ It's in several formats, and my favourite is the PDF
format at <http://www.exim.org/exim-pdf-current/doc/spec.pdf>

Chapter 3 will give you a good overview of Exim. Section 4.17 will get you
started with diagnosing errors.
