Q1402
I have a dial-up machine, and I use the queue_smtp_domains option so
that remote mail only goes out when I do a queue run. However, any email
I send with an address
[anything@aol.com](mailto:anything@aol.com)
is returned within about 15 minutes saying retry time exceeded, and
all addresses are affected.
You should be using queue_domains rather than queue_smtp_domains.
With the latter, Exim is trying to route the addresses, which involves a
DNS lookup. This is presumably timing out, causing a retry time to be
set for the domain, and somehow a valid lookup never happened before the
maximum retry time (default of 4 days) passed. Hence the bounce. The
fact that it is aol.com is probably not relevant. You should probably
also be using -qq to do your queue run rather than -q.
