Hi Guys,
Sorry if this has been answered in the past, I've tried a search in the
archives. Exim 4.34 with a fairly standard configuration.
We are relaying mail from one host to another and the destination host is
running a greylist setup. No problem with that however our exim doesn't try
for long enough and gives up too quickly.
Below are the log entries I am seeing and also an extract from our exim
retry configuration. I've tried something simple as double the values and it
still didn't help and it just gave up after about 1 and 1/2 minutes.

* * F,2h,15m; G,16h,1h,1.5; F,4d,6h
*@TheDestination.com.au * F,8h,50m
I tried other various combinations, also trying with exim -brt, none of
which would match the seperate rule I put for the domain (or it's MX's as a
test). Even doubling the default * rule values didn't help.
Thanks
Paul
