Hi Ted,
ok, am a bit more confused now...
Ok if we take my original post as the example:
2008-01-31 17:56:00 1JKddo-0003mt-D7 <= root@??? U=root P=local S=335
2008-01-31 17:56:00 1JKddo-0003mt-D7 ** a.smith@???: Unrouteable
address
2008-01-31 17:56:00 1JKddo-0003mv-EH <= <> R=1JKddo-0003mt-D7 U=Debian-exim
P=local S=1130
2008-01-31 17:56:00 1JKddo-0003mv-EH ** root@???: Unrouteable address
2008-01-31 17:56:00 1JKddo-0003mv-EH Frozen (delivery error message)
2008-01-31 17:56:00 1JKddo-0003mt-D7 Completed
The is from the root user on the system, mail is sent simply from piping
into mail as per norm in shell with recepient address
set as a.smith@???....
My understanding from the above is that the mail from the root user to
a.smith is ID 1JKddo-0003mt-D7, but the last thing in
the mainlog is that this message is "completed", it never leaves the system
(I just rechecked with tcpdump and there is no
outgoing SMTP traffic to the smart host). But neither is it left on the
system, the other message ID is left as frozen.
I can run the debug command you specified against the other message ID
1JKddo-0003mv-EH, but this is just the auto error
message from exim isnt it? Currently root@??? isnt a valid email
address so I try this again send from myself:
2008-02-01 15:43:09 1JKy2n-0005vt-Nq <= a.smith@??? U=a.smith P=local
S=351
2008-02-01 15:43:09 1JKy2n-0005vt-Nq ** a.smith@???: Unrouteable
address
2008-02-01 15:43:09 1JKy2n-0005vv-Oz <= <> R=1JKy2n-0005vt-Nq U=Debian-exim
P=local S=1155
2008-02-01 15:43:09 1JKy2n-0005vv-Oz ** a.smith@???: Unrouteable

2008-02-01 15:43:09 1JKy2n-0005vv-Oz Frozen (delivery error message)
2008-02-01 15:43:09 1JKy2n-0005vt-Nq Completed
And now I run the command u asked against the frozen message:
