Hi,

 > Presumably Exim thinks the message was dealt with.  What does the log 
say?

that brings me back to my initial question that I started this thread 
with. The logs do not say much, they say

"peer close after all rcpt responses; converting i/o-error to no-error"

and then

"completed".

My initial question was if "converting i/o-error to no-error" may be the 
reason that Exim does not retry - or in other words, makes it think that 
the message was dealt with. If so, I am looking for a way to tell Exim 
that the transmission is not successful in such cases and that a retry 
is required.

Best regards,
Stefan
