I have been in contact with the the messaging folk at UBS. They can see the messages on their end sending and then failing and retrying for 4 days before giving up. The log line above is one instance of this caper.
The UBS folk say their mails are up to 4MB in size. Today I sent a series of large emails, up to 4MB from another external source to the target exim4 server. They all worked perfectly. I guess this negates the requirement for a manual test. I'm thinking now the problem is some specific relationship between the UBS server and mine. I do not know how long the transmission lasts for before failing. Anyway of logging that?
