I fixed this, with known_smtp_domains: driver = domainlist route_list = "hostname.domain1 hostname.domain2 byname remote_smtp"
and another entry for hostname.domain2. Seems ugly but it works. Not sure why I never had to do this before. Is there a quick way to reset the retry timeout? hostname.domain1 hasn't run smtp in ages and anotherhost knows it and refuses to send.
