Hi,
I am having my exim misbehave when sending mail to a host which does
greylisting:

As you can see, message 1HWtWv-00063A-Bb was received on March 29,
temprejected and delivered during the next queue run. On April 4,
message 1HZ4g9-00081Z-43 was received, temprejected and immediately
bounced by my local exim for "retry timeout exceeded". This is what
exinext says:
$ sudo exinext lists.alioth.debian.org
R: domain_literal for user@???
R: dnslookup for user@???
Route: pkg-exim4-users@???:<mh+pkg-exim4-users@???> error -44: SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<pkg-exim4-users@???>: host lists.alioth.debian.org [217.196.43.134]: 451 Greylis
first failed: 29-Mar-2007 14:15:10
last tried: 04-Apr-2007 14:33:41
next try at: 04-Apr-2007 20:33:41
past final cutoff time
[14/514]mh@torres:~/tmp$
Looks like the retry database was not updated after the successful
delivery of 1HWtWv-00063A-Bb.
Can somebody explain what is going on here?
Greetings
Marc
