It depends whether the SMTP command getting the temporary-error was
associated with the message or with no particular message. A 4xx
to the EHLO, for instance, was not associated with a message - and
Exim takes as meaning an issue with the entire host.

In Exim's terms, part of the same delivery attempt. The queueing for
retry only happens after all (or too many) MXs are tried.

The combination of both the name and the IP.
