We have a newsletter going out to a few thousand users. Yesterday (I
did not see this problem before) a large number of users did not get
the news letter. The queue looks like this:
> sudo mailq
18h 4.9K 1BfeRE-0005GP-00 <majordomo@???>
bulletin-outgoing@???
The last part of the message-log:
2004-06-30 15:18:37 s@???: children all complete
2004-06-30 15:18:48 x.sun.ac.za [146.232.2.117]: No route to host
2004-06-30 15:18:48 l@??? <bulletin-outgoing@???> R=relayrouter T=remote_smtp defer (113): No route to host
2004-06-30 15:19:38 x.sun.ac.za [146.232.2.117]: No route to host
Questions:
1. I thought that "children all complete" would mean that all
the deliveries in that batch have been completed. But s for
example, did not receive the message. What does "children all
complete" mean?
2. Why would exim stop to try and deliver the message because one host
is not available (x in this case)?
The router used in this exim(4.05) configuration:
mailinglist_aliases:
driver = redirect
domains = +local_domains
local_parts = "!postmaster"
allow_fail
allow_defer
data =
${lookup{$local_part}dbm{/opt/majordomo/majordomo.aliases.db}}
pipe_transport = address_pipe
file_transport = address_file
retry_use_local_part
skip_syntax_errors
syntax_errors_to = "postmaster@???"
user = majordomo
Regards
Johann

"Seeing then that we have a great high priest who has
gone into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us
hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not
have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with
our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in
every way, just as we are-yet was without sin."
Hebrews 4:14,15
