Subject: Re: [exim] mail frozen
Queries like this should go to the exim-users@??? mailing list - sending
to an admin address means they just get dropped in a junk mailbox and normally
would have been missed entirely.

You have a smarthost router that is attempting to route all mail back to the
local machine - exim picks up that you have a mail loop and freezes the mail.

It's nice to find someone who can explain it
thank you I understand better why
how I can fix this
