Hi Jeremy.

I did check the retry configuration, but forgot to mention that. It's
just the default one... (I think)... exim certainly doesn't seem to
be following this rule .... or am I misunderstanding this rule?

begin retry

# This single retry rule applies to all domains and all errors. It specifies
# retries every 15 minutes for 2 hours, then increasing retry intervals,
# starting at 1 hour and increasing each time by a factor of 1.5, up to 16
# hours, then retries every 6 hours until 4 days have passed since the first
# failed delivery.

# Address or Domain    Error       Retries
# -----------------    -----       -------
