Hi I have a cpanel server with exim. A customer try to send a mail to another server which is using greylisting.
In exim.conf I have the retry time configured, that during the first 2 hours, eximt should retry every 15min to deliver the mail. * * F,2h,15m; G,16h,1h,1.5; F,4d,8h But when exim realize, that the other server is often "temporary down", which means the other server gives the error 451 back (greylisting), then exim ignores my retry time which I configured and just wait very long. Here is an example: 2009-09-01 23:20:17 1Miam1-0001jl-JF <= [email protected] H=84-72-143-74.dclient.xxxxxxx.ch ([10.0.1.3]) [84.75.148.74] P=esmtpsa X=TLSv1:AES128-SHA:128 A=fixed_plain:info+xxxxxxxxx.ch S=1124 [email protected] T="Konten" 2009-09-01 23:20:17 cwd=/var/spool/exim 3 args: /usr/sbin/exim -Mc 1Miam1-0001jl-JF 2009-09-01 23:20:21 1Miam1-0001jl-JF SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<[email protected]>: host mx01.hostingcompany.ch [134.132.236.15]: 451-134.132.238.138 is not yet authorized to deliver mail from\n451 <[email protected]> to <[email protected]>.
