Exim has been configured not to accept mail for "miller@localhost".
Is "localhost" a local_domain? Does "miller" exist on the system?
How did you configure exim (eximconfig? what were your answers?)?

I'd just put
options mda "/usr/sbin/exim %T"
in your .fetchmailrc so that fetchmail uses a pipe instead of trying
to do an SMTP connection. Of course, exim still needs to be
configured to properly deliver local mail.
