I can run this on another server if you like. Why would the local
server ruin the connection when using DKIM and not otherwise?

I'll send the strace off-list. The problem occurs at line 16364:

[pid 20730] write(2, "2f"..., 22f)        = 2
[pid 20730] write(2, "5f"..., 25f)        = 2
[pid 20730] write(2, "ea"..., 2ea)        = 2
[pid 20730] write(2, "\n"..., 1
)        = 1
[pid 20730] close(7)                    = 0
[pid 20730] unlink("/var/spool/exim4-outgoing/input//1NKO7A-0005Nm-0D-20730-K")
= 0
[pid 20730] write(2, "20730 ok=0 send_quit=0 send_rset="..., 8120730
ok=0 send_quit=0 send_rset=1 continue_more=0 yield=1 first_address is
NULL
) = 81
[pid 20730] close(6)                    = 0
[pid 20730] write(2, "20730 LOG: MAIN\n20730   Remote ho"..., 12120730 LOG: MAIN
20730   Remote host smtp-mx004.me.com [17.148.17.14] closed connection
in response to sending data block
) = 121
[pid 20730] gettimeofday({1260847828, 176518}, NULL) = 0


The connection to the remote server (smtp-mx004.me.com in this case)
is fd 6, and the -K spool file is fd 7. The last thing received from
fd 6 was the "354 Enter mail, end with a single "."." message, and I
don't see any send/write to fd 6 after that and before the close.

Thanks,
Tony
