I'm having a problem with bounces to users who are over quota staying
indefinitely on the queue. the setup runs Exim 4.66 and Cyrus with
virtual users and domains. the usernames and domains in Cyrus do not
match the mailing lists (historical reasons), so the config has a
redirect router from e-mail address to [EMAIL PROTECTED] the
transport is smtp with lmtp protocol, to localhost. we've enabled
retry_use_local_part on the router(s).
consider this message, on the queue for 8 days, even though final cutoff
is 2d.
# exim -brt [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Retry rule: * * F,2h,5m; G,16h,1h,1.5; F,2d,6h;
running the queue manually doesn't touch it:
# exim -v -q 1H79bL-0007NF-W0 1H79bL-0007NF-W0
LOG: MAIN
cwd=/var/log/exim 5 args: /local/opt/exim-server/exim -v -q
1H79bL-0007NF-W0 1H79bL-0007NF-W0
LOG: queue_run MAIN

LOG: retry_defer MAIN
== [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> routing defer (-51): retry
time not reached
LOG: queue_run MAIN
End queue run: pid=26466
here's the retry hint lookup, excerpted from -d output:
Considering: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
unique = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
dbfn_read: key=R:sogneskoler
dbfn_read: key=R:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
dbfn_read: key=R:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:<>
no domain retry record
post-process [EMAIL PROTECTED] (1)
LOG: retry_defer MAIN
== [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> routing defer (-51): retry

if I use -Mc, however, it gets processed:
# exim -v -Mc 1H79bL-0007NF-W0
LOG: MAIN
cwd=/var/log/exim 4 args: /local/opt/exim-server/exim -v -Mc

of course, a cron job running -qf every night would "fix" the problem,
but it doesn't appeal to me to use such a band-aid :-)
any hints?
