Thanks Viktor,
i do not pretend to bother anybody to the extent of reviewing logs... i
justneed to understand smpt_fallback_relay a little bit more... thanks again
for your kindness..
So... a soft fail in delivery is considered a "unreachable" destination, and
hence, smtp_fallback_relaytakes place... my understanding was that
unreacahble meant "cannot connect to remote smtp port"...
Thanks again!
Pete.

When at least one envelope recipient soft fails for all attempted
connections and/or SMTP sessions, then connections are attempted to any
configured fallback relays (for such remaining envelope recipients).
No detailed analysis is possible without logs. If you post all the
relevant log entries (including relevant messages from the "smtp"
processes with same "pid" as the final defer log entry) then it'll be
possible to disect the sequence of events for a particular delivery
attempt.
You may find the "collate" script useful:
