Hi
I have a cpanel server with exim. A customer try to send a mail to another
server which is using greylisting.
In exim.conf I have the retry time configured, that during the first 2 hours,
eximt should retry every 15min to deliver the mail.
* * F,2h,15m; G,16h,1h,1.5; F,4d,8h
But when exim realize, that the other server is often "temporary down", which
means the other server gives the error 451 back (greylisting), then exim ignores
my retry time which I configured and just wait very long. Here is an example:

How can I configure exim, that it ignores this database and just retry like
configured?

When doing exactly what you tried - Short answer, no. Only the first
part of the line expanded - the single part address list. The rest of
line has a specific format as specified in:
http://docs.exim.org/current/spec_html/ch32.html
However, you could make the a table that matched up every domain to the
retry rule you wanted. Maybe.
The following was produced at exactly 1 minute to 5 (end of work) when I
was thinking of beer and what I was going to do for the weekend.
ie a table like .
domain varchar
retryline int
a query like
MYSQLRETRY1=SELECT domain FROM domretry WHERE retryline = 1 AND domain =
${mysqlescapethingy{$domain}}
MYSQLRETRY2=SELECT domain FROM domretry WHERE retryline = 2 ....
and a retry table that looked
${lookup{mysql{MYSQLRETRY1}} * F,4d,6h
${lookup{mysql{MYSQLRETRY2}} * F,7d,2h
Maybe? I haven't really thought about this :P
