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) :

ragema@??? R=smarthost T=remote_smtp: retry time not reached for
any host after a long failure period

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
