Exim should try the primary first, as any MTA should. Sometimes it may
fail to reach the primary, and fall back to the secondary, particularly if
the primary uses greylisting. The secondary is tempfailing the mail,
because *it* thinks the primary is still up, which causes exim to try the
primary again later. Seems fairly normal and OK to me.
Cheers, Chris.
