Curiostiy: Which advantages do you get by using Dovecot as the LDA as
opposed to using the well-defined and tested Maildir interface between
exim and dovecot?

And h24-207-104-15.cst.dccnet.com [24.207.104.15] is your box, the one
that runs Thunderbird, exim and dovecot, and the one that Thunderbird
tries to deliver to by connecting to 127.0.0.1?

I think it will help if you show full, unaltered logs, including all
information that you might think is rubbish, of your thunderbird
sending a message up to the error message you receive, and show the
error message itself (if it's a mail, full headers and corresponding
log entries, if applicable) as well, please.

Greetings
Marc
