Package: exim4 Version: 4.71-4 Severity: normal
I edited /etc/exim4/conf.d/retry/30_exim4-config to this: * * F,15m,30s; F,2h,15m; G,16h,1h,1.5; F,4d,6h and QUEUEINTERVAL = '30s' in /etc/default/exim4. With the laptop connection down, I send `mail -v`. It cannot connect to my smarthost, so mail is properly deferred in the local queue. Then I connect to the internet. However, subsequent queue runs do not send the message within 30 seconds like these settings would seem to indicate. I cannot send new messages either. R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost defer (-53): retry time not reached for any host If I `rm /var/spool/exim4/db/*`, then the next queue run sends all mail. My usual scenario on my laptop is, I hit send (or use reportbug) and forget that I was not connected. Then I connect and I want it to go out promptly so I don't have to wait for 2 hours. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.
