Yes, but the rule does not trigger the retry. The rule just controls, how
often a queue running process *would* (re)try.

To get retries every minute, you need to start a queue runner process
every minute (or even more often). Commonly via the -q<interval> option.

    exim -bd -q60


should do it.

PS: Please do not sent me a Cc of your messages, I'm reading the lists.

    Best regards from Dresden/Germany
    Viele Grüße aus Dresden
