Just under a week earlier:
1999-06-22 19:05:59 10wUvn-0003X5-00 <= <> R=10wUvm-0003WU-00 U=ian P=local S=4806
...
1999-06-29 18:04:06 10wUvn-0003X5-00 ** ijackson@???: message retry timeout exceeded
So indeed, that would put it beyond my maximum retry limit (4 days).
But shouldn't that just make it bounce (if it wasn't going to already)
instead of vanish ?
Ian.
