Hi,
I've got an odd thing occuring on one of our remote-smtp fallback
hosts. Basically, we have a remote site that is giving a 450 temporary
error on a specific recipient (RCPT).
This, of course, causes retry data to be added for delaying future
deliveries. Or I would expect it to. Instead, the message gets
a redeliver attempt about every 10 seconds. It's been doing this
for a week now and our logfiles are over 65 megabytes long of
retrying a group of about 10 messages all to the same set
of recipients.
Now, I *am* using the -C option on exim to use an alternate
configuration file, so perhaps there is some bug that is being hit
when using the -C option?
When I run "exim -Mc 13jwXl-0005E7-00" to try and do a delivery,
I get the following output. If I run it again, I would expect to
get a "retry time not reached". But, it simply runs it again with
the same output every time.

Any ideas? The configuration of the retry area of the exim
configuration consists of only:
* * F,2h,30m; F,8h,1h; F,7d,5h
