-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi All,
By default, exim establishes a separate connection to a remote smtp server, even if this remote server is configured as exim's only smart host. Since our smarthost does not allow more than 10 connections per minute, it causes significant delays in mail delivery with default configuration. We have since reconfigured our exim, which now runs with the following options: Listener: /usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -odqs Queue Runner: /usr/sbin/exim4 -oP /var/run/exim4/eximqr.pid -qq2m Mail now queues fine, but when queue runner starts up, it still seems to establish individual connection per each message, despite -qq option: 2010-03-02 15:45:59 Start queue run: pid=5686 -qq ... skipping 10 successfully delivered messages ... 2010-03-02 15:46:01 1NmUHO-0001Rx-0g SMTP error from remote mail server after initial connection: host <smarthost> [XX.XX.XX.XX]: 421 Connection not accepted at this time ... skipping undelivered messages ... 2010-03-02 15:46:02 End queue run: pid=5686 -qq Any idea what else can be missing in the following configuration? # /etc/default/exim4 EX4DEF_VERSION='' QUEUERUNNER='separate' QUEUEINTERVAL='2m' COMMONOPTIONS='' QUEUERUNNEROPTIONS='' QFLAGS='q' SMTPLISTENEROPTIONS='-odqs' Many thanks, Alexander - -- Alexander Ufimtsev Web Software Developer School of Computer Science and Informatics University College Dublin, Belfield, D4, Ireland T: +353 1 716 2926 F: +353 1 269 7262 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFLjVuqANNyqVq3ICERAviFAJ9ZeeswBWxgThz/bDd0pXDs+dHpMwCghlCT Fnu5cwmlctgb8AsKOfnHE0E= =iJ8k -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
