Yep, try delivering it again with debugging turned on.

Exim has decided that the name 'ghana.com' can't be routed, perhaps because
the DNS is down, or perhaps because of a config file problem.

To get some more info on what is happening, find the message-ID of the
message in the queue:

# exim -bp

Then try redelivering it with 

# exim -v -M <message-ID>
or
# exim -d9 -M <message-ID>

(-d1 to -d9 are increasing levels of debugging)

Using -M to force a delivery attempt will bypass the normal mechanism which
says that if a host is down, it won't attempt to deliver to it again until a
little while later.

Regards,

Brian.

P.S. Exim 3.30 is out.
