            Bug ID: 1799
           Summary: retry rules contain "unknown error"
           Product: Exim
           Version: 4.86+ HEAD
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: bug
          Priority: medium
         Component: Queues
          Assignee: nigel@???
          Reporter: arekm@???
                CC: exim-dev@???


exim 4.87 RC3, Linux

run with options:
exim -oP /var/spool/exim/exim-daemon.pid -bd -q10s


retry rules:

begin retry

*     *   F,7d,1m



mails are delivered via LMTP to dovecot, retry_use_local_part = true is used.
Destination addresses are XYZ@???

# service exim stop; rm /var/spool/exim/db/retry*; service exim start; sleep 5;
exim_dumpdb /var/spool/exim retry
Stopping Exim service................................[ DONE ]
Starting Exim service................................[ DONE ]
R:mbox.myhost.pl -1 0 unknown error

# exigrep "unknown error" /var/log/exim/*.log
#

so that unknown error is comming from nowhere.

That causes many mails to be delayed in queue for few minutes.
If I force delivery via exim -M XYZ then it's delivered just fine.




Note that I'm also seeing this on 4.86 + backported these patches
