Well, then, please show us an appropriate extract. For example:
1. the <= line
2. the first set of delivery lines
3. the next set of delivery lines, some time later
4. pick one or two recipients, and show all their lines, possibly
omitting repeated identical lines.
The point is, without more information, there is no way I can try to
understand what is happening.

Right. There you have given some useful information "the message isn't
cancelled". That means it is still on your spool, yes? If so, what set
of log lines do you get when Exim tries to deliver it? What do you get
as output from "exim -bp" for that message?

It should re-do the mailing list expansion, and retry all undelivered
addresses, subject to the retry rules.

One obvious test is:
1. Use "exim -bp" to list the queue and see what addresses Exim thinks
are undelivered for this message.
2. Use "exim -v -Mc <the message's id>" to try to deliver the message
and see what the verification output (written to stderr) contains.
3. Or even use "exim -d -M <the message's id>" to force a full delivery
attempt with full debugging.
