That message arrived during my vacation. If you look at it,
the dns server used by exim isn't the same as the dns server he was digging!
It's a case of broken server.

Yes, it goes to std{err,out} of the service. That will be in /var/log/exim.log
(standard) but if you use exim-config to set the service it goes to
/var/log/exim/cygrunsrv_{err,out}.log

The simplest however would be to call exim from the shell.
