Exim : retry time not reached for any host after a long failure period

The issue is because of the corrupted exim db files.

Goto /var/spool/exim/db and delete files: retry , retry.lockfile , wait-remote_smtp, wait-remote_smtp.lockfile

/etc/init.d/exim restart

Thanks so much. That was the problem and the only solution that really helped. The Exim FAQ isn’t of any help and many forums are neither.

After you’ve done this you force all the mail in the queue to resend with ‘exim4 -qf’
