How to reset the retry time ? "retry time not reached for any host for "

Question

Hi Guys, 
 has anyone already figured out how to manually reset the retry time ? 
 R=default_mx_router T=remote_smtp defer (-53): retry time not reached for any host for 'XXXX' 
 Kind Regards, 
 Max

Hi, 
 
 I've also had this problem and dis some research to exim: 
 First go to Advanced Shell. 
 The retry count is stored in Lockfiles: 
 
 cd /var/spool/output/db 
 ls -lh 
 
 You should see sth. like: 
 SFV8C16_VM01_SFOS 17.5.xxxxxx# ls -lh -rw-r--r-- 1 root 0 12.0K May 27 18:34 retry -rw-r--r-- 1 root 0 0 May 27 18:20 retry.lockfile -rw-r--r-- 1 root 0 12.0K May 27 18:21 wait-remote_smtp -rw-r--r-- 1 root 0 0 May 27 18:21 wait-remote_smtp.lockfile -rw-r--r-- 1 root 0 12.0K May 27 18:24 wait-static_smtp -rw-r--r-- 1 root 0 0 May 27 18:24 wait-static_smtp.lockfile 
 
 remove the lockfiles which are causing the problem (e.g. static smtp for static smtp routes) or simply all of them: 
 rm -f retry retry.lockfile 
 rm -f wait-remote_smtp wait-remote_smtp.lockfile 
 rm -f wait-static_smtp wait-static_smtp.lockfile 
 
 Then restart smtpd 
 service smtpd:restart -ds nosync 
 
 You can now try to send an email again.
