Subject: [Exim] 550 errors
Hi all, I am a little confused as I thought when exim got a 550 error
when trying to deliver a message it treated it as a permanent error and
did not retry. So when I saw this message frozen in the queue and looked
in the message log I see.

2003-12-20 20:57:41 SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT
TO:<YmSMypFP@???>: host horafeliz-com.mr.outblaze.com
[205.158.62.181]: 550 No thanks: Account unavailable. Possible Forgery.

This goes on for several days, latest is
2003-12-22 16:05:52 ymsmypfp@??? <YmSMypFP@???>
R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp: SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT
TO:<YmSMypFP@???>: host horafeliz-com.mr.outblaze.com
[205.158.62.181]: 550 No thanks: Account unavailable. Possible Forgery.
*** Frozen (delivery error message)


So I figure I must have a config setting wrong but not sure what. I have
the retry rules set to 8 days thus

# Domain               Error       Retries
# ------               -----       -------


*                      *           F,2h,15m; G,16h,2h,1.5; F,8d,8h


But I thought this only applies to temporary errors. Can somebody tell
me where I am being daft ?
