When I added a defer entry I get a message in the logs like below:

2008-10-14 13:42:17 1Kpqif-0003Cp-2Q == [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
R=hubbed_hosts T=remote_smtp defer (-44): SMTP error from remote mail 
server after RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: host 10.0.0.2 [10.0.0.2]: 
451 Temporary local problem - please try later

This means the MTA which attempted delivery will retry again. For as 
many times as it is configured to do. Exim I believe by default will try 
for 5 days and then send a permanent failure notice.

Greetings,
Jeroen
