Subject: Re: [exim] exim 4.96 stopping because postfix is starting?
What I am now realizing is the issue is that my Exim configuration is not
handling bounces correctly. They are being routed out to the internet
instead of back to our inbound node. Postfix is (now) running (only) on our
non-mail nodes as an MUA to submit mail to our inbound Exim node. It's the
solved part of the problem.

I'm puzzled, though, why the R=1p7Hiz-00010h-3B message ID doesn't match
anything else in the logs. When I exigrep it, I get the same result as when
I exigrep the other ID. No other message shows up:

# exigrep R=1p7Hiz-00010h-3B main.log
