G'day Daniel,

I'd be most keen to have a look through the Exim logs and see if we can identify a specific delivery issue.

If there's an underlying problem (e.g. dns unavailable, destination host for mailing list RCPT's down, etc) preventing delivery, forcing a retry of the queue won't do heaps.

Say you have one host in the queue whose scheduled to receive a thousand or so messages - if that one host is 4xx'ing you upon initial connect, or, you flat-out can't connect to it, the queue isn't going to move.

If failed connection is indeed the case, it'd be a matter of the usual requisite network troubleshooting bits, e.g. try from a different host, snag a packet capture, etc.

If however, you're getting a 4xx error upon initial connect, you're somewhat limited to engaging the admin of the remote site and working with him or her to find out why they're tempfailing your messages.
