I have exim setup to hold mail for as long as 7 days in the event of a
delivery problem to the remote server.
My retry section is quite simple.
* * F,2d,15m; F,7d,1h;
This normally works just fine. However sometimes I see a message rejected
right away, it never tries delivery at all.
In this log a message is received an rejected in the same second, without
even tryin the delivery at all.

What can cause this type of thing? Why is Exim not holding the message for
delivery.
