Your second box wasn't accepting the mail (temporary error; nothing listening on port 25 or SMTP 4xx errors) when you first tried and Exim cached the failure. "exinext 192.168.1.197" to confirm, or "exim -d+hints_lookup whatever" "exim -qf" to force flush the queue, ignoring previous retry times. First successful delivery should clear the "host is bad" state. Or: # cd `exim -bP spool_directory`/db # pwd # rm -f retry* -Phil -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
