Hi all !

I get the following log entry in my mailq (and a failure message is send to
me, message is -not- delivered to recipients, but flushed from queue) :

But this 'long' period of failure is 30 seconds ?... I suppose this is the
result of:

rfc1413_query_timeout           = 30s


It 'looks' like it is a dns issue. A seconds message send to the same user
works like a charm.

Possible affected configuration settings:

---
host_lookup                     = *
rfc1413_hosts                   = *
rfc1413_query_timeout           = 30s


ignore_bounce_errors_after      = 0d
timeout_frozen_after            = 0d


begin retry

*                      *           F,2h,15m; G,16h,1h,1.5; F,4d,6h
---


What's wrong with this picture? I don't want bounces to be 'resend', I don't
want 'frozen' messages in my queue, but I do want exim to retry a message if
the first dns query to get mx-records (that what i guess is going wrong here
....) fails.

Any hint or tips ?

bye,
Chris
