Hi, I'm having some trouble with retries. Either I misunderstand something or I've got a configuration error. I would greatly appreciate any help!
The situation is as follows: My mailer (exim 4.6) sends an email to a domain with multiple MX entries (i.e. mail1.foo.bar MX 10, mail2.foo.bar MX 20). The first MX fails (either because of 'connection refused' or 'temporary error' does not matter). As I understand the exim manual chapter 32 the mailer should check its retry rules before trying the next MX. The default retry configuration should default to all domains and all error: begin retry * * F,2h,15m; G,16h,1h,1.5; F,4d,6h However, after failing to deliver the mail to the first MX the mailer immediately tries the second MX. Shouldn't the first retry wait at least 15 minutes according to the retry rule? Thanks in advance for any help!
