the strange thing about this is the following:
yesterday i had a cronjob running every minut (whole day long for
testing) and i've got (only??) 2 emails about a message that couldn't be
delivered. The rest just disapeared...

For anybody's info i've included one of them:

Subject: Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software (Exim).

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

  jos at lemmerling.net
    forced defer: All deliveries are deferred: retry timeout exceeded

------ This is a copy of the message, including all the headers. ------
