That stops messages from immediately entering the frozen state if unable
to be delivered but doesn't resolve the problem of the messages not
being delivered. Here's the exim4 log for a clean queue with a fresh
message just sent:

2015-03-17 10:49:17 1YXso1-0004vW-2v <= <sending address> U=root P=local
S=785
2015-03-17 10:49:17 1YXso1-0004vW-2v == gary@???
R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost defer (-53): retry time not reached
for any host
