Hmm.. still not sure I've got this delayed mail working correctly. With the FAQ router in place it seems that exim is actually temporarily rejecting email from the sending server. Whereas what I want it to do is accept the message and queue it for a deferred delivery.
Here's the log file entry:
16:34:16 H=plum.csi.cam.ac.uk [131.111.8.3] F=<user@???> temporarily rejected RCPT <user-local@???>: delivery delayed
My configure router looks like this:
delay:
driver = redirect
domains = atm.ch.cam.ac.uk
local_parts = user-local
condition = ${if < {$message_age}{43200} {yes}{no}}
data = :defer: delivery delayed
allow_defer = true
When I tested this using -bt (admittedly as a local user) it seemed to work ok. What have I missed??
Thanks,
Glenn
