Dear David Lord-

The problem is that I received the error code and message 451
Greylisted, please try again in 900 seconds. In the case of xMail it
did not retry to send the eMail.
According to RFC2505, 4xx are Transient Negative Completion reply
(Temporary
Error) and should result in the mail transfer being put back on queue
again and a new attempt being made later.

That doesn't seem right, as greylisting has been taken up by more
providers I've seen temporary
failure many times but xmail retries and either delivers or eventually
gives up and I get an unable
to deliver message. Only unable to deliver have been whilst testing and
not to real addresses.
Xmail default here was a notification after first temporary failure then
after complete failure which
might be 4 - 5 days later. I modified notification settings to 1,6,9
attempts but any that have hit
6, all test emails, never get through at all. If I'm desperate I check
what is still in spool file that
xmail is still trying. One unlikely possibility is the greylisting accept
period is too short and after
jumping past it there is no possibility mail will get through.
Thanks for the input -- I've been using xMail for quite some time and
checked on your suggestions.
I don't understand the NotifyTryPattern option -- is this in hours? None
of the docs I found describe
this in detail.
The problem is that with the 451 returned error from the remote MTA -- xMail
seems to have
considered this an error because it immediately sent back an eMail to the
user with
the Subject Error sending message It did NOT retry -- I double checked
this
by reviewing the log file. Here is what is in the LOG file (please note I
removed the
original from/to for privacy) :
[PeekTime] 1181221418 : Thu, 7 Jun 2007 09:03:38 -0400
ErrCode = -77
ErrString = [RCPT TO:] not permitted by remote SMTP server
ErrInfo = 451 Greylisted, please try again in 900 seconds
SMAIL SMTP-Send MX = mail22.webcontrolcenter.com.
SMTP = smtp-x1.phl1.mgfx.com From = dest To = from Failed !
SMTP-Error = 451 Greylisted, please try again in 900 seconds
SMTP-Server = mail22.webcontrolcenter.com.
The error code -77 translates to ERR_SMTP_BAD_RCPT_TO with
the string [RCPT TO:] not permitted by remote SMTP server as shown.
I don't think this is correct
I am hoping that someone can read the source code better then I can to
help figure this out. I don't see any place in the Server.Tab to change this
behavior. For xMail to work with other MTAs it needs to follow the RFC
2505 and I think xMail should treat 451 as a soft error?
Thanks,
