From my (documented) startup script: # -Qt 1800 Timeout for next try sending. # -Qi 12 Increment Ratio for retries. # -Qr 40 Maximum number of retries before returning this message.
These are the options that define the timeout period. This particular config equates to about 5.42 days... Have a look at zinc.pl available on the xmailserver site, (http://www.xmailserver.org/zinc.pl) which will give you an indication of the queue runs, and you can finetune your parameters with that. Please note that you do need spaces between the flag and the value, else it defaults to 0. The above settings give as follows: ../zinc.pl 1800 12 40 01 send-time = 0 (00:00:00) next-try = 1800 (00:30:00) 02 send-time = 1800 (00:30:00) next-try = 1950 (00:32:30) 03 send-time = 3750 (01:02:30) next-try = 2112 (00:35:12) 04 send-time = 5862 (01:37:42) next-try = 2288 (00:38:08) 05 send-time = 8151 (02:15:51) next-try = 2479 (00:41:19) 06 send-time = 10630 (02:57:10) next-try = 2685 (00:44:45) 07 send-time = 13316 (03:41:56) next-try = 2909 (00:48:29) 08 send-time = 16225 (04:30:25) next-try = 3152 (00:52:32) 09 send-time = 19377 (05:22:57) next-try = 3414 (00:56:54) 10 send-time = 22792 (06:19:52) next-try = 3699 (01:01:39) 11 send-time = 26492 (07:21:32) next-try = 4007 (01:06:47) 12 send-time = 30499 (08:28:19) next-try = 4341 (01:12:21) 13 send-time = 34841 (09:40:41) next-try = 4703 (01:18:23) 14 send-time = 39545 (10:59:05) next-try = 5095 (01:24:55) 15 send-time = 44640 (12:24:00) next-try = 5520 (01:32:00) 16 send-time = 50160 (13:56:00) next-try = 5980 (01:39:40) 17 send-time = 56140 (15:35:40) next-try = 6478 (01:47:58) 18 send-time = 62618 (17:23:38) next-try = 7018 (01:56:58) 19 send-time = 69637 (19:20:37) next-try = 7603 (02:06:43) 20 send-time = 77240 (21:27:20) next-try = 8236 (02:17:16) 21 send-time = 85476 (23:44:36) next-try = 8923 (02:28:43) 22 send-time = 94399 (26:13:19) next-try = 9666 (02:41:06) 23 send-time = 104066 (28:54:26) next-try = 10472 (02:54:32) 24 send-time = 114538 (31:48:58) next-try = 11344 (03:09:04) 25 send-time = 125883 (34:58:03) next-try = 12290 (03:24:50) 26 send-time = 138174 (38:22:54) next-try = 13314 (03:41:54) 27 send-time = 151488 (42:04:48) next-try = 14424 (04:00:24) 28 send-time = 165912 (46:05:12) next-try = 15626 (04:20:26) 29 send-time = 181538 (50:25:38) next-try = 16928 (04:42:08) 30 send-time = 198466 (55:07:46) next-try = 18338 (05:05:38) 31 send-time = 216805 (60:13:25) next-try = 19867 (05:31:07) 32 send-time = 236673 (65:44:33) next-try = 21522 (05:58:42) 33 send-time = 258195 (71:43:15) next-try = 23316 (06:28:36) 34 send-time = 281512 (78:11:52) next-try = 25259 (07:00:59) 35 send-time = 306771 (85:12:51) next-try = 27364 (07:36:04) 36 send-time = 334135 (92:48:55) next-try = 29644 (08:14:04) 37 send-time = 363780 (101:03:00) next-try = 32115 (08:55:15) 38 send-time = 395895 (109:58:15) next-try = 34791 (09:39:51) 39 send-time = 430686 (119:38:06) next-try = 37690 (10:28:10) 40 send-time = 468377 (130:06:17) next-try = 40831 (11:20:31) Monday, July 3, 2006, 7:39:36 PM, you wrote: > Suppose I have a backup mailserver and i want it to hold the mail until > the primary comes up.
