Strange. When I try, I get the error following the RCPT command. And
there's an additional line that looks like the last part of an error

I was seeing the same thing, but was finally able to see the entire
error message. Depending what server I telnet from I see the cut off
message you see or the following:
220 aurora.northfolk.ca ESMTP Exim 4.50 Mon, 03 Apr 2006 12:28:58 +0800

I added "-d" to the exim command. When the telnet host sees:
mail from:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
250 OK
rcpt to:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
551 User not local; please try <forward-path>
Connection closed by foreign host.
the debug output shows:
26896 SMTP<< mail from:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

It looks to me like exim thinks the the host running telnet has
terminated the connection, but from the other side it looks like exim is
rejecting.
While I was writing this mail, the debug output was continuing run and I
happened to receive a spam which produced the following entry:
26907 SMTP>> 550 Rejected. Your message appears to be spam.
So, in the original case I should expect to see something like
##### SMTP>> 551 User not local; please try <forward-path>
But I don't see that, so where does that message come from?

Good day, eh.
