This shows the message being delivered, from exim's point of view. If the mail got lost after that point, I have to assume it's the fault of pmx.abv.bg (assuming that is not also munged) and not a problem on the sending MTA's side. Assuming it is the sending side under discussion, there's not much more you can do. > After this I tried to send an e-mail with the same attachment via another > SMTP server, which failed as well but I this time I got a notice of > delivery failure. Have I misconfigured exim? Magic 8 ball says "ask again later". I am not sure how one could know, given the amount of information presented, but I don't believe that's the problem. Did the second MTA get a 5xx at delivery time? Did it get a bounce message later? Do you have exim configured to reject bounces for some reason? -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | The only way to amuse some people is to | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | slip and fall on an icy pavement. | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
