Hello,
I experienced the following problem with exim. I had set it to
use a smarthost and was working fine, but last tuesday my smarthost
was accidentaly blocked by a firewall. the following happened:
- exim attempted to forward mail to my smarthost and failed due to blocked port
- the messages were stored in queue
- i fixed the problem in my smarthost
- next time exim was run, it was unable to forward the mail, although the
smarthost was working propoerly:
2002-06-28 08:58:44 17Np0m-0000Te-00 == [EMAIL PROTECTED] T=remote_smtp defer
(-44): retry time not reached for any host
I think that exim found past failed attempts in its logfiles and this is
why it didn't want to retry.
Purging the exim package and reinstalling with the same configuration
(and a backup of the mail) solved the problem for me.
So exim should not get stucked when a previous attempt of sending a
message fails.
cheers,
