Hi all It would appear that through the advice of this forum and that of another 3rd party this issue is now resolved.
A couple of major factors that this forum would not have been privvy to were in the content of the exim.conf file where we had added our smarthost details to the bottom of the routers section. As Exim reads the conf files through in a line-by-line manner then it was using a router listed before our smarthost and therefore processing the mail as a potential local user. This has been amended and mail is now flowing without any stuck messages in the spool. Incidentally when we made the change and restarted Exim, upon flushing the queued messages they all disappeared in a flash. Thanks to all who contributed. You have added to my knowledge and rectified a problem I was certainly struggling with Regards Ian John Burnham-2 wrote: > >> >> On 10/09/2007, ikearns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> > I can confirm that the alias is already there >> >> > # Person who should get root's mail >> > #root: postmaster@<external_domain> >> >> There, but commented out.... >> > Like Peter said :) > J > > -- > ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users > ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ > ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/ > > -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Mail-being-queued%3A-User-0-set-for-remote_smtp-transport-is-on-the-never_users-list-tf4413160.html#a12596889 Sent from the Exim Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
