We have similar problem with the retry rules here.

1. E-Mail goes out an rejected with 450 18:28:18

SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<xxx@???>: host
mx.xxxxxx.com [151.XXX.XX.XXX]: 450 4.7.1 <xxx@???>: Recipient address
rejected: Policy Rejection- Greylisted, please try later (see
http://www.greylisting.org).

2. 10 seconds later 18:28:28 exim tries again to send and also failed with
message above because the time for second mail is too short.

3. The email will not again send after these two times.


exinext xxx@??? bring us the following:

first failed: 26-Aug-2009 18:28:18
last tried: 26-Aug-2009 18:28:28
next try at: 26-Aug-2009 18:43:28


# exim -brt xxx@??? rcpt_45x
Retry rule: * * F,6h,15m; F,4d,1h;


######################################################################
#                      RETRY CONFIGURATION                           #
######################################################################


# This single retry rule applies to all domains and all errors. It specifies
# retries every 15 minutes for 2 hours, then increasing retry intervals,
# starting at 1 hour and increasing each time by a factor of 1.5, up to 16
# hours, then retries every 8 hours until 4 days have passed since the first
# failed delivery.

# Domain               Error       Retries
# ------               -----       -------



begin retry

* rcpt_4xx F,6h,15m; F,4d,1h


*                      *           F,2h,15m; G,16h,1h,1.5; F,4d,8h




We think that the exim retry configuration seems not to work properly. We have
also the same problem if we use only the standard retry rule * * F,2h,15m;
G,16h,1h,1.5; F,4d,8h
