Problem found. Turns out that this host had timed out so many times that
retry-rules now were selecting "Immediate rejection".

I had to remove my retry rules database completely to fix this (I didn't
like doing this, but I was out of options and time).

Is there a "fast-dirty" way to remove one host's entry from the retry
database without removing the entire database?

Finally, I have experimented with retry rules a bit, but would like a "kick
all" rule that says:

thishost.com    *    F,1d,15m        F,indefinate,1h


(in other words, try every 15 minutes for 1 day, then try every hour
indefinitely for just this host)
This is a customer's machine, and if it is down, I NEVER want to reject
their email because of timeouts

Can this be done?

Can anyone tell me what this error message means?

I have nothing in the queue for this host, nor do I see any errors to this
host until this morning. All other hosts in this router are working fine.

Error Message:
email@??? R=VPN_Router T=remote_smtp: retry time not reached for any
host after a long failure period

VPN_Router:
  driver = manualroute
  transport = remote_smtp
  route_list = ahost.biz 192.168.70.2:mail.ahost.biz byname ;\
        bhost.com 192.168.40.2:mail.bhost.com byname ;\
        chost.com 192.168.10.3:mail.chost.com byname ;\
        dhost.com 192.168.11.20:mail.ehost.com byname
