Maybe -- although I believe I did change the retry rules _before_ the original expiry time was reached, because we _knew_ the primary MX was going to be absent for a few more days. So the 'expired' bit shouldn't have been set, should it? But then we lost all the mail anyway :) There exists a strong possibility that I screwed up the format of the retry rules though, so maybe your above hypothesis is correct. I think I put the rule for this domain _after_ the '*' rule, as follows: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * F,2h,15m; F,24h,1h; F,30d,4h * * F,2h,15m; G,16h,1h,1.5; F,4d,8h cardolan.com * F,2h,15m; F,24h,1h; F,30d,4h -- dwmw2 -- ## 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/
