NAME

exinext - program to extract information from exim retry database

SYNOPSIS

exinext domain

DESCRIPTION

A utility called exinext (mostly a perl script) provides the ability to fish specific information out of the retry database. Given a mail domain (or a complete address), it looks up the hosts for that domain, and outputs any retry information. At present, the retry information is obtained by running exim_dumpdb (see below) and post-processing the

output. For example

exinext piglet@milne.fict.book

kanga.milne.fict.book:100.100.8.1 error 146: Connection refused first failed: 21-Feb-1996 14:57:34 last tried: 21-Feb-1996 14:57:34 next try at: 21-Feb-1996 15:02:34 roo.milne.fict.book:100.100.8.3 error 146: Connection refused first failed: 20-Jan-1996 13:12:08 last tried: 21-Feb-1996 11:42:03 next try at: 21-Feb-1996 19:42:03 past final cutoff time You can also give exinext a local local_part, without a domain, and it will give any retry information for it. Exinext is not particularly efficient, but then it isn't expected to be run very often.
