Actually, I'd say its quillandmouse.com ... from what I believe you said
in anothe rmessage, the first thing that the MTA does is adds the
Received: header, after which it would add Errors-To: before sending on to
the next one ... no? Which means that its getting added *before*
glatton.cnchost.com ...

So, unless postgresql.org is rewritting the Received headers, its being
added before it reaches us ... and I just looked at your full headers, and
there is no Errors-To: line added there ...

Is it something that Exim adds in?
