Summary: Failed name server leads to unroutable address error
Product: Exim
Version: N/A
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: bug
Priority: medium
Component: Delivery in general
AssignedTo: ph10@hermes.cam.ac.uk
ReportedBy: marc@perkel.com
QAContact: exim-dev@exim.org

I think this is a bug. A valid domain where the name servers are unreachable
results in an error "unroutable address" rather than retrying. I ran into this
situation where due to a network routing problem my name servers couldn't reach
the domains name servers and rather than retrying it failed as if the domain
didn't exist.
