Subject: [EXIM] Mail to Iridium.

Hello everyone,

Exim seems to have problems sending mail to the 'iridium.com' domain.
This concerns addresses for satelite pagers with 12 digits local_parts
like:

    123456789123@???


Sometimes it takes Exim about a minute to process only one such e-mail
and relay it to my ISP's mailhost, sometimes it even gets stuck in the
queue. The log shows:

    mailhost: connection refused


Doing exim -v -qf gets rid of the mail without any complains of the
mailhost.

Does the all digit local_part confuse Exim? I use Exim 2.12 on Linux
2.0.36, no filtering of any kind.

Thanks,
Friso Kuipers.
