            Bug ID: 1782
           Summary: retry time not reached for any host after a long
                    failure period - but failure is instant
           Product: Exim
           Version: 4.86
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: bug
          Priority: medium
         Component: Queues
          Assignee: nigel@???
          Reporter: marc@???
                CC: exim-dev@???

I'm seeing rejections like this:

retry time not reached for any host after a long failure period

But the message occurs instantly - not after a long period of failure.

Details:

The recipient server is actually down and has been down for some time. But a
new message comes in and it is immediately rejected.

However ....

If I delete the files in the /var/spool/exim/db directory then the message
stays queued. So something having to do with the way messages are identified as
being old is being stored incompletely. I suspect that there were already other
emails for this person that did expire.

Hope this helps.
