Thanks. The relevant part of the resulting log is for a similar message
and the same network is:

So gethostbyname2 fails. But if I write a simple C application that
calls gethostbyname2 using the AF_INET flag (this is not an IPv6
network anyway) I get a valid and correct IP address. The host command
gives similar results (and also returns an IPv6 address).
I can keep on running exim -qf and the look up never seems to succeed
until I switch to a different network.
So, I still don't understand why everything else seems to be able to
resolve the IP address, but not Exim.
