I have a smarthost, but things don't work right. My previous debian build
on this machine worked fine, so the network environment seems OK.
In /etc/exim.conf:
# Send all mail to a smarthost
smarthost:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = "* mail.mum.edu bydns_a"
But I still get the following logfile failures:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> T=remote_smtp defer (-34): retry time

I found that it accepts mail, then holds it for a few days (see errors
below), and then send it through OK.
Thanks for any fixes!
