Aha, yes, sorry - was in the middle of an iptables ruleset at the time
so got my terminology mixed up. "deny", that's right.

So you need to start looking at the reasons for the bounces, and why
they're being frozen.

"exim -Mvl <message_id>" would be a good start, along with "exim -Mvb
<message_id>".

That will give you the log entries leading to that message being frozen,
and also look at the message body which in the case of a bounce should
contain the reason for the bounce in the first place.
