I have two hosts a.example.com and p.example.com .
mail for example com arrive to A, but for some users is forwarded to
user@??? .
Nothing special until here, you do with a procmail option at user level.
The problem is that host p could be disconnected, sometime also for
weeks, or even if conencted could refuse messges..
Normally if you forward to a disconnected host after some time (one day ?)
you get a messge telling that you cannot connect it and after some days
gives up and bounces the message, and do it immediately if it get a 5xx
error.
What i want to do is that when sending a message to p.example.com whatever
thing happens (no route to host/ dns error / no response / closed port /
4xx or 5xx error), anything different than an accepted message, the
message remains in the queue and is tried again every 24 hours, indefinitely.
What is easier way ?
