Thanks for the reply. We're actually on 4.62.

Is this the fix you're referring to:

"PH/19 Change 4.64/PH/36 introduced a bug: when  
address_retry_include_sender
       was true (the default) a successful delivery failed to delete  
the retry
       item, thus causing premature timeout of the address. The bug is  
now
       fixed."


(from ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/email/exim/ChangeLogs/ChangeLog-4.67
)

If so that shouldn't affect us (wrong version and we don't set that
option), although I suspect we should upgrade anyway.

thanks,

Paul
