I am stuck with supporting mail from an Exchange server, with exim routing messages for external recipients.
Sometimes a message arrives with a recipient address where the recipient's domain generates "host lookup did not complete" and so exim rejects with a retry-later rejection. Unfortunately, Exchange re-tries every minute for 3 days! It would be much tidier if exim just accepted the message and put it on its own queue so that it would get the same (rational) re-try rules that everything else gets. I would also control the time after which the user is notified that the message is still queued. Can someone suggest how I should go about this? It would be nice if I could reject outright if the recipient domain gives a permanent failure. I would also prefer it if no significant delay were added to messages where the recipient domain is OK. (So, I would prefer not to just queue everything.)
