Sorta looks like an IPv6 address is failing.  I'm confused as I have 
never seen this error before.  I am on a IPv4 network.  Did Exim4 start 
doings things differently?  I tried telnetting into a remote host on 
port 25 and it worked.  So I have port 25 access to the world outside.  
So far my server can send emails.  It won't receive emails by design due 
to mx settings.

It's probably harmless.

Nate.
