I'll try and re-read that to see if I can gain any more understanding :)

Heh yeah, I was referring to the initial 3hrs where it should retry every
15m. If I can prove to myself that Exim is doing physical delivery attempts
to the failing hosts when my retry rules state, then I'll be happy :)
Looking for retries every 15m is the easiest for me since the time between
is so short, it's easier to notice in logs or whatever (I assume).
Anyways, will do more reading and see if I can't solve this myself (if
there's anything to solve except my understanding).
