So fetchmail doesn't send it through exim4?
from man fetchmail ...
[..]
As each message is retrieved fetchmail normally delivers it via SMTP
to port 25 on the machine it is running on (localhost), just as
though it were being passed in over a normal TCP/IP link.
[..]
If no port 25 listener is available, but your fetchmail
configuration was told about a reliable local MDA, it will use
that MDA for local delivery instead.
An MTA is priority standard.

I think I see what you are saying. Is there a command to check the
config? Is the checking not good enough? So the system that's more
suspicious would not be exim?
