So here's something funny.

- -----
Message 1GFdaj-00087w-00 has been frozen.
The sender is <root@???>.

The following address(es) have yet to be delivered:
italerts@??? <root@???>:
error in router: unknown routing option or transport name "philagrafika.org"
- -----

What on earth does that last unknown name have to do with mail from root
to italerts?!

Someone went and made some bad changes to the exim config, stopping up
the entire system. Everything's frozen, filled with stuff like this;
hundreds of 'em. Nothing's come out of that box in a week (not a major
mailsystem; running an old exim for some reporting and suchlike, as you
have likely guessed by the addresses involved).

Still, two questions:

1) philagrafika is one of the domains we manage. Someone thought it
needed to be there as the site is hosted on that box, i guess. Why
doesn't it know about this domain, how is it "unknown?" There are 3
other domains listed before that one that it likes just fine. How do i
introduce them -.-

2) why the HONK does mail from A to B all come to a crashing halt
because it doesn't know what W is?!

tia,
