+.SH NAME
+exinext \- Finding individual retry times
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B exinext
+.I address|message-id
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+A utility called
+.B 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 for the hosts or for the
+domain.
+At present, the retry information is obtained by running
+.B exim_dumpdb
+(see below) and processing the output.
+For example:
+
+ exinext piglet@milne.fict.example
+ kanga.milne.fict.example:192.168.8.1 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.example:192.168.8.3 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
+.B exinext
+a local part, without a domain, and it will give any retry information for
+that local part in your default domain.
+A message id can be used to obtain retry information pertaining to a
+specific message.
+This exists only when an attempt to deliver a message to a remote host
+suffers a message-specific error (see section 42.2).
+.B exinext
+is not particularly efficient, but then it isn't expected to be run very often.
+
+.SH BUGS
+This manual page needs a major re-work. If somebody knows better groff
+than us and has more experience in writing manual pages, any patches
+would be greatly appreciated.
