Thanks.  Somehow in my first reading I only absorbed the possibility
of simulating a local session.  Walking through a remote session gave
me the clue I needed and I'm all set now.

What the session showed was that exim sporadically bailed out during
the processing of blacklisted hosts.  I started scrubbing extinct
blacklisted hosts, which got me further but was fragile -- transient
lookup failures still derailed it.  That tipped me off to the real
difference between my old setup and my new one: resolv.conf.  The new
setup only had the local dns listed while the old one had the
opends.org servers as a supplement.  Adding more servers stabilized
host lookup and made exim happy.  No more vague deferrals.
