These days I got so many returned messages. Look at the below email as an example.

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

[email protected]

Hello.

Do follwing:

cat /var/log/exim_maillog | grep [email protected]

and check output. It will show why the message couldn't be delivered to [email protected].

The message:

***retry time not reached for any host after a long failure period

doesn't say what exactly caused the problem. So you need to check the logs more closely.

Also, if the message wasn't sent my you, it means some spammer sent the spam and the headers "from" was faked. That is why you got the bounced messages.
