[exim] updating hints database / new IP address

Hi all,

I moved over my mailserver to a new IP address. Everything went rather
smoothly, until I noticed my secondary DNS (which is out of my control) was
out of sync and one of the mailserver hostnames is still resolving to the
old IP address.

Luckily, I route mail through other MX's, which I have control over. I have
a nice queue of mail just waiting to be delivered. I've set the new IP
address in /etc/hosts but as I said I cannot control DNS.


How do I update the dns hints database so I can retrieve my mail? I couldn't
find anything via Google. If I delete the wait-remote_smtp file I will
surely do some damage? The MXs are serving other domains unrelated to this
incident.


thanks in advance,
Dominique
