As Piete points out, "hold_domains" can do just that. However, turning
it on and off automatically on a time-of-day basis isn't built into
exim, but I expect someone could write a clever script to read your Exim
configuration, change the setting, put it back, and HUP your daemon.
However, I question why this is all really necessary. Personally, I
would set up a special retry rule for the problem domains, along the
lines of
problem.domain * F,2h,15m; F,3d,8h
In other words, try every 15 minutes for two hours, then just try every
8 hours. To complement this, you need to add a cron job that runs
exim -R problem.domain
at 9 o'clock each working morning, or whenever you think the machines
might have been turned on.
