That could be useful to know, thanks.

Which I imagine exim would do if it got a 'try again' response; I
don't know if me doing it again manually counts. I suspect perhaps
not, as the second mail would have a different ID even if it was an
identical message and recipient. But WikiP says that the triplet of
* The IP address of the connecting host
* The envelope sender address
* The envelope recipient address(es)
is used.
(WikiP also mentions SPF. That is something else I need to look at,
but it still looks like I am dying before getting that far.)
