Another problem I'm having lately is that some messages remain forever in

So a maximum retry of 30 minutes?  That's insane.

Retry interval should be over 5 minutes, and it should retry at least for several days. I think 4 days is normal.


Agreed. If a mail server is down or temporarily swamped by spammers, it may easily take more than 30 min to come back up.

Mine retries every 30 min for up to 3 days.
