So you could have a message that retries say 100 times but you can only wait for 120 minutes between each try. So every 2 hours the server will try and deliver the message.
That would mean 12 tries in a 24 hour period. I guess that is ok, as long as I set the number of times to more than 24 times then they should never loose any mail over the weekend shutdown. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Klinge" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, February 23, 2004 3:08 PM Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Problems with SMTP retry settings For version 8.05 I think just the time (timer) has a limit (10 minimum/120 maximum - between number of retries). The actual number of retries, I don't believe, have a limit. ~Rick > > Hmm, am I wrong here or should Ipswitch not put a maximum > time for retries? > We have several cities that we run email for.
