So is the general consensus that this is NOT an exim issue?? The alpine
people aren't very responsive..

In any case, I'm curious to know why it would say it was rejecting the
off-site recipient... in general exim terms. That is, under what
circumstances would this error show up in the exim logs regardless of the
client being used to send? If I could figure that out, maybe I could figure
out why the message was popping up in the first place despite the fact the
message gets through.
