which retry rule?

Hi,

I have a couple of retry rules, one specific for 421 errors from
unreliable (ie too-busy-at-the-time to take my initiall message)
hosts. is there a way to see in the log file which retry rule
triggered the delivery?

Thanks,

Oliver

Well, it's kind of backwards from that.

Exim retry rules only _prevent_ a queue runner from processing a
message. They dont trigger a delivery. That is, a message only
gets a delivery attempt if none of the retry rules match the retry-rule
domain, error type, time restriction, etc.

So to find out which rule triggered a delivery really isn't the right
question, since a delivery means none of them matched.
