comment Exim rejecting a specific e-mail address prefix
Accepting spam and quarantining is bad practice for the most part, but I digress. Search the exim configuration and I am pretty sure you will find the culprit. You may also want to check files exim reads from other locations (such as /etc/aliases)

comment Load Balance Mail Gateways
+1 I wasn't aware of this solution, good information. That may work, but it adds additional complexity and failure modes. Whereas MX records and DNS is rather simple and effective and "just works". I think it would be overkill unless your site gets so much email traffic that just using MX records and DNS and having multiple MTAs of equal priority is just not going to work.

comment Load Balance Mail Gateways
MTAs are very capable handling a large throughput and MX records provide a helpful cheap way to balance load and create redundancy. I think you'll find that if you focus more on the backside of things (improved i/o speed for queue handling for example) things can improve greatly. Big sites have implemented their own email load balancing and there may be a few commercial offerings available, but I doubt the cost is warranted unless you have a load like one of those big sites. Besides any slapped together solution will likely prove to be more of a pain than an actual solution.

comment sda1 (?) raid failed on debian - what to do now?
Sure if this is a server with critical data go ahead and replace it. Though it's useful to try and bring the disk back to life until you got a replacement. But if the server is lowly QA machine or dev test box that's being abused anyways I see little point replacing a disk unless it is really broken.

comment mount using insecure ports for nfs
I see, i was suspecting you meant <1024. I think that the behaviour you try to prevent is just basic functionality. However see my updated answer.
