Betreff: [exim] Strange failure mailing exim-dev list
I just sent a message to the exim-dev mailing list, and it was
immediately bounced by my exim server with the message "retry time not
reached for any host after a long failure period". I've never seen this
before, and it seems quite strange to me. Does anyone have any ideas?

The bounce message (including headers of the original message to
exim-dev) was:

--- BEGIN ---

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

   exim-dev@???
     retry time not reached for any host after a long failure period

Here's the relevent mainlog entries:

The only entry in my retry section is:

The address tests correctly:

root@pyloric:/home/msherman# exim4 -bt exim-dev@???
R: spam_quarantine for exim-dev@???
R: dnslookup for exim-dev@???
exim-dev@???
router = dnslookup, transport = remote_smtp
host sesame.csx.cam.ac.uk [131.111.8.41] MX=5

and tracert shows good connectivity to sesame.csx.cam.ac.uk. I'm
stumped. Any ideas what might have caused this?
