Hi all, I have an annoying problem regarding my mailqueues. Some users forward all their incoming messages to remote domains which perform greylisting. The setup is something like "defer the first delivery and accept any message that ist retried more than 5 minutes and less than 12 hours after the initial delivery attempt".
For a given recpipient mail arrives frequently, and every incoming message triggers a delivery-attempt, which often triggers greylisting which a 451-response-code. However, the retry-interval is recalculated and messages sitting in the queue are not retried for that recipient, so a second delivery just never happens and the message is kept in the queue forever. Currently I have no better idea than to run a cronjob doing someghing like "exim -Rff domain" every hour. But I don't really like that "solution" and though my mail-throughput is small enough and the hardware has enough spare resources, I'm curious how others try to solve that issues. Any comments, ideas, suggestions? -- CU, Patrick. -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
