Hello,



In what circumstances the option fallback_hosts may not works?



I've got this configuration for exim4 v4.80 (debian wheezy):



Router:



inbound_route:

driver           = manualroute


domains       = +domains_handled


route_data    = HOST_MASTER


transport      = to_master


same_domain_copy_routing

no_verify



Transport:



to_master:

driver      = smtp


hosts       = HOST_MASTER


fallback_hosts = HOST_FALLBACK

hosts_override

initgroups



If the connection to HOST_MASTER is refused or timeouted, the message is
retried without calling HOST_FALLBACK. It is also not called after cut off
time (after last retry).



In general - HOST_FALLBACK is never called! At all!



What is wrong with my configuration or server?



Of course I've got all macros, IPs, firewall rules and so on set up
properly. It's not this case.



Do you know about some bug related to this option?



Thanx for any help!
