Does the code itself concur? I'm not conversant with the Exim code so
I'm a bit at a handicap in checking.

If a message arrives with "c=relaxed;" in the DKIM-Signature header, a
*compliant* verifying implementation will act as if it said
"c=relaxed/simple;" If the signer DID "relaxed/relaxed" but only claimed
"relaxed" then the verification SHOULD break unless the 'relaxed' body
canonicalization is equivalent to "simple" (which it could sometimes
be...)

OR: the OP's 2 machines are using different DKIM implementations that
handle identical messages' bodies differently. He has made clear that
the messages are in fact identical (same hash) so the issue is somewhere
in the verification software.
