Subject: [EXIM] smart_route and retry-time
I'm a dial-up user at a stand-alone single Linux machine and start exim
with parameters "-bd -om".

I want to route all non-local mail to mail.gmx.net. In the config-file
a have

smart_route:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = "* mail.gmx.net bydns_a"

Now, I send two mails
1) to user@???      (but not to ...@t-online.de)
2) to user@???


All mail 1) go out, but all mail 2) go to an infinite (?) loop for retry.
The eximlog:

1)

18:57:12 10z1C4-0000CE-00 "rudolf@???" rewritten as
"Rudolf.Kompf@???" by rule 1
18:57:12 10z1C4-0000CE-00 <= Rudolf.Kompf@??? U=rudolf P=local S=370
18:57:12 10z1C4-0000CE-00 == user@??? R=smart_route defer (-1):

2)

18:44:02 10z0zK-00006U-00 "rudolf@???" rewritten as
"Rudolf.Kompf@???" by rule 1
18:44:02 10z0zK-00006U-00 <= Rudolf.Kompf@??? U=rudolf P=local S=366
18:44:02 10z0zK-00006U-00 == sss@??? routing defer (-42): retry
time not reached

Why does exim say "R=smart_route defer (-1):" for 1) but "routing defer
(-42): retry time not reached"

My Retry-config:
*                      *           F,4h,15s; F,96h,1h


After I typed "runq" I have in the eximlog:

19:04:27 10z0zK-00006U-00 == sss@??? routing defer (-42): retry
time not reached
19:04:27 10z1C4-0000CE-00 == user@??? R=smart_route defer (-1):


Now I try to "Deliver message" in the eximon menu and then I find in
eximlog:

19:07:10 10z0zK-00006U-00 == sss@??? R=smart_route defer (-1):

!!! ???

Remark: I dont run a nameserver and this is my /etc/resolv.conf:

nameserver 194.25.2.129
nameserver 212.122.128.10
nameserver 212.122.129.10

What can I do?

Thanx in advance.

Rudolf
