https://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1645

--- Comment #4 from Arkadiusz Miskiewicz <arekm@???> ---
btw. there are also other, more scarry (on first look into logs) scenarios
related to this issue:


# mailq -> hm, queue empty

# find /var/spool/exim/ -name '1Z5wFC-0002WI-Pn*'
/var/spool/exim/input/1Z5wFC-0002WI-Pn-D

but there is something there, partial; was there some filesystem corruption or
what?

No, that's only configuration bug:

# exigrep 1Z5wFC-0002WI-Pn /var/log/exim/main.log
+++ 1Z5wFC-0002WI-Pn has not completed +++
2015-06-19 15:22:08 1Z5wFC-0002WI-Pn unknown named domain list "+other_blabla"

and only after testing scenarios like this in test server you get information
that the mail is "safe" (on remote server; likely to be retried later) and that
remote got "421 Unexpected failure, please try later".

Logs are basically silent about details of such scenario.

ps. shouldn't exim unlink D file in such case to avoid leaving stale/useless
files?
