Package: exim4-daemon-heavy Version: 4.50-4 Severity: normal I would expect a MTA to simply queue mail that it tries to send when the network is down (or packet loss is high). However, exim4 bounces it, with an unhelpful "Unrouteable address" message. (These are messages being sent off-site). The exim4 mainlog doesn't have any other useful information, either.
Even stranger: sometimes, it will log things like: R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp defer (110): Connection timed out and behave as desired. I can't figure out why it doesn't do that all the time. Any hints would be appreciated. -- Package-specific info: Exim version 4.50 #1 built 02-Mar-2005 07:42:40 Copyright (c) University of Cambridge 2004 Berkeley DB: Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.2.52: (December 3, 2003) Support for: iconv() IPv6 PAM Perl GnuTLS Content_Scanning Old_Demime Lookups: lsearch wildlsearch nwildlsearch iplsearch cdb dbm dbmnz dnsdb dsearch ldap ldapdn ldapm mysql nis nis0 passwd pgsql Authenticators: cram_md5 cyrus_sasl plaintext spa Routers: accept dnslookup ipliteral iplookup manualroute queryprogram redirect Transports: appendfile/maildir/mailstore/mbx autoreply lmtp pipe smtp Fixed never_users: 0 Configuration file is /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.26-vs1.27 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages exim4-daemon-heavy depends on: ii exim4-base 4.50-4 support files for all exim MTA (v4 ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-21 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdb4.2 4.2.52-18 Berkeley v4.2 Database Libraries [ ii libgnutls11 1.0.16-9 GNU TLS library - runtime library ii libldap2 2.1.30-3 OpenLDAP libraries ii libmysqlclient10 3.23.56-2 LGPL-licensed client library for M ii libpam0g 0.76-22 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpcre3 4.5-1.1 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi ii libperl5.8 5.8.4-8 Shared Perl library ii libpq3 7.4.7-5 PostgreSQL C client library ii libsasl2 2.1.19-1.5 Authentication abstraction library -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
