 This is a big clue that the MTA is improperly configured and is

A properly written MTA should automatically handle issues like this and re-split the envelopes as necessary. Sendmail will do this, as will postfix. Dunno about Exim.


I think the problem lies somewhere with a locally screwed up MTA which periodically won't respond at all, or can't get to its local DNS, so stuff bounces when it shouldn't. But I can't be sure.
