Hi,

we have some problems sending mail to greylisting servers. 
Trying [email protected] shows, that our outgoing server does not
retry sending the mail if the first attempt returned an 4xx error.

Output of exim_dumpdb:
$ exim_dumpdb /var/spool/exim4 retry | grep allaboutspam
  T:mx.allaboutspam.com:96.126.107.60:1VOnUR-0002Lg-BV -46 13389 SMTP
error from remote mail server after end of data: host
mx.allaboutspam.com [96.126.107.60]: 452 Greylisted. Please try again
after some time.

But "exim_fixdb /var/spool/exim4 retry"
Modifying Exim hints database /var/spool/exim4/db/retry
R:[email protected]
record R:[email protected] not found

has no record for this address.

exim4.conf.template has:

begin retry
*                      *           F,8h,15m; G,16h,1h,1.5; F,7d,6h

Should retry sending at least for 8 hours every 15 minutes.

exim queue runs are configured every 5 minutes:

$ exiwhat
 7839 daemon: no queue runs, listening for SMTP on port 25 (IPv6 and IPv4) 
 7841 daemon: -q5m, not listening

What's wrong here?


Greetings,
