The address that you reply to, supplied by TMDA in the confirmation
request, should look something like this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

where XXXXXXXXX is a timestamp, NNNNN is a PID and nnnnnn is a
cryptographic magic number.  You should also see, in your incoming
log, the confirmation message come through *to* that address.  But all
that is in the log is a confirm to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This means that, somewhere along the line, this address is getting
screwed up.  Did you carefully follow the Exim configuration described
at:

http://www.tmda.net/config-pre.html

At a guess, you haven't got Exim configured to understand and preserve
extension addresses.  It doesn't by default.

These are both for the original message.

Here you replied to the confirmation request, but the To address is
wrong, so TMDA doesn't recognize it as a an actual confirmation.
