ISTR that one can define a custom message to follow any given return code. By definition, a 'custom' message would not be in source. So, questions for Nicola - have you inherited a configuration set up by someone else? Or is this a clean install that for-sure has no such customization? Or are you dealing with a 'far end' Exim that you can ID as such, but have NO control over?
