Subject: [Exim] load avg + deliver delay?
Hello,

I have come across a situation where exim tried to deliver to a host that
had a load avg above the threshold set which is "deliver_load_max = 28".
The second attempt to deliver that message didn't take place until 7 hours
later. The retry rule is this:

F,5h,15m; F,16h,2h;     F,5d,8h



I don't understand the delay. This says to try every 15 min for 5 hours.
I am new to exim administration so I am probably missing something. Any
help will be greatly appreciated.
