Hello everyone,

I have an Exim server as backup mailserver (lower MX priority) with
manual route and retries set as follows:

begin retry

*                      *           F,12h,5m; G,24h,1h,1.5; F,4d,6h


So it should retry delivering mail every 5 minutes for 12 hrs, right?

Well, no - as it happened, the main company link went down for 2 hrs and
the backup server did deliver all the mail after the link was repaired,
but according to logs it was retrying delivery of queued mails every
30-40 minutes.

Why? What other settings may impact retry frequency?

Regards,
