This problem persists. Every few days I'll get sometimes 2-3 messages
which bounce because of this.

Could you please try getting debugging output from one of these failed
deliveries?

I suspect the problem is related to the fact that the lowest numbered MX points
to the local host, though you have the self=send option.

I do have self=send set.

And I agree. This only seems to happen in a cron job, sending email on
the localhost to a user on the localhost.

Since this only occurs at night when cron is pretty much the only thing
running, it appears to be something other than a load dependency.

If you can tell me exactly how to setup logging to assist resolving this
problem, I'll set it up and send you the logs next time it happens.

What were the results of the manual mail delivery per comment #7 on 2008-07-17
(and your reply to that)?

OK, try sending email as if from cron but with debugging turned on, e.g. (as
root)

echo test | exim -d+all root

That debugging output doesn't exhibit the problem. What happens if you run
echo test | exim -d david@davidfavor.com
instead (using the address that failed in the original bug report).

Hmm, still haven't managed to reproduce it. How about
for i in 1 2 3 4 5; do echo test | exim -d root >out$i 2>&1 & done

If that doesn't work, can you try putting back the serialize_hosts option and
running it again?

I ran the for loop.

Chances of recreating are low as this is highly intermittent.

Usually occurs once every 20K-30K worth of messages.
