All, I wanted to find out how XMail handles delivery attempts, especially in terms of number of attempts and time elapse after the first attempt before XMail calls it quits.
We've noticed two things: a) When a message can't be received by anther server (i.e. a 4xx code) it stops trying to send the message after 1 day. A lot of other MTAs seem to keep trying for 7 days (trying 1x day after the first day) to send on the message. b) We have a backup MX that we generally use for our own internal use. It's also being used as the backup MX server for one of our clients who uses an Exchange server. One time last week, when the exchange server was down for a day or so, the backup MX continued trying to send on messages for the first day using SMTPRELAY, but then stopped after that. Is there any way to extend the timeout for re-sending and relaying messages? I don't remember seeing this on this list before....
