Subject: RE: [exim] A problem with my retry parameters
Here's exactly the error I received when trying to send a mail to a remote
address F=<djouboui@???> temporarily rejected recipient
<djouboui@???> : host lookup did not complete.

Do not focus on the error itself I know it was due to the faulty DNS. What
matter is that my MUA(Outlook) consider the mail as sent and exim itself
didn't enqueue it for later delivery.

Thanks.

Unless of course you're the originator, and that error is coming from the
remote end; you didn't include any logs, and you foolishly obfuscated the
address in question, so we may be having some difficulty attempting to read
your mind.
