Of course, I'm sorry! For testing I commented my tr_g_user transport,
but I didn't pay attention that I had another director referencing
tr_g_user..
So I verified that the exim behaves correctly (deferring the mail),
which is ok for me.

I'm aware of that, but a little confused now and I'm thinking if I would
better use a domainlist router?
I'm not quite sure, what is the best way for routing mails to our Exchange-Servers:
To know to which host to route the mail I want to lookup our LDAP-directory,
field 'mailhost', but the method for host lookup should be 'byname'.
I did some tests using the following domainlist router, but I still have
problems with correctly using route_query and setting the option 'byname':
exchange_route:
driver = domainlist
domains = unifr.ch
transport = remote_smtp
search_type = ldap
route_query = ldap:///ou=persons,ou=ufdir,dc=unifr,dc=ch?mailhost?sub?(mail=$local_part@???)
this is part of debug output:
..
LDAP search: returning: g-user.unifr.ch
lookup yielded: g-user.unifr.ch
original hostlist=g-user.unifr.ch options=
expanded hostlist="g-user.unifr.ch" options=
exchange_route router passed; "more" overridden
domain unifr.ch rewritten as g-user.unifr.ch
..
I would like to set the 'byname' option.
If you could point me in the right direction, Thanks
