Hi,

I'm also seeing the same issue, bue due to transient dns lookup timeouts. I
have some monitoring emails mailed to me every 15 minutes during the afternoon.
Most of these get through but occassionally one doesn't. e.g.

2009-06-06 20:30:41 1MCtAL-0006gD-RI == daniel.ackroyd@???
<Daniel.Ackroyd@???> R=dnslookup defer (-1): host lookup did not
complete
2009-06-06 20:30:41 1MCtAL-0006gD-RI ** Daniel.Ackroyd@???: retry
timeout exceeded

One email at 20:15 and one at 20:45 reached me with no problem. The only retry
rule I have is:

* * F,2h,15m; G,16h,1h,1.5; F,4d,6h


Running the command "exinext dialogue.net" gives:

R: dnslookup for user@???
Route: dialogue.net error -1: host lookup did not complete
first failed: 01-Jun-2009 18:45:41
last tried: 06-Jun-2009 20:30:41
next try at: 07-Jun-2009 02:30:41
past final cutoff time

There was a failed message to my email on 1st June at 18:45, but there have
been many successful emails since then. I believe this server is running Exim
4.63.
