Okay, reading up on Exim, I tried to resend everything in the queue using: exim -q -v
And I got a bunch of these: LOG: queue_run MAIN Start queue run: pid=3520 delivering 1GqBX7-0004ZP-Cd (queue run pid 3520) LOG: retry_defer MAIN == [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp defer (-53): retry time not reached for any host delivering 1Gpkfr-0004Re-KS (queue run pid 3520) LOG: skip_delivery MAIN Message is frozen delivering 1GqEA0-0007bb-Ik (queue run pid 3520) LOG: retry_defer MAIN == [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp defer (-53): retry time not reached for any host delivering 1GqFRE-0000GJ-8G (queue run pid 3520) LOG: retry_defer MAIN == [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp defer (-53): retry time not reached for any host delivering 1GqBMz-0003OS-HD (queue run pid 3520) LOG: retry_defer MAIN == [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp defer (-53): retry time not reached for any host delivering 1Gp0xO-0008QH-9e (queue run pid 3520) LOG: retry_defer MAIN == [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp defer (-53): retry time not reached for any host delivering 1Gp2N8-0000Ae-3R (queue run pid 3520) LOG: retry_defer MAIN == [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp defer (-53): retry time not reached for any host delivering 1Gq0T3-0008Se-IW (queue run pid 3520) LOG: skip_delivery MAIN Message is frozen delivering 1GqFiC-0002et-E3 (queue run pid 3520) LOG: retry_defer MAIN == [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp defer (-53): retry time not reached for any host delivering 1GqEWi-0001mG-R0 (queue run pid 3520) What does that mean? Is there a problem with Exim or Postfix? Thanks again. Patrick Patrick - South Valley Internet wrote: > I found the problem! Kinda... > > It turns out it is the Exim server.
