Happy New Year to everyone.
I have the need to impose a 24-hr delay on emails from [email protected]
to a local recipient.
I have found this config snippet:
https://github.com/Exim/exim/blob/master/doc/doc-src/FAQ.src#L6892
So I created a router as suggested:
delay_incoming:
driver = redirect
domains = mydomain.name
local_parts = the_local_part
senders = sender@some_domain_name
condition = ${if < {$message_age}{86400}{yes}{no}}
allow_defer
data = :defer: message not old enough
no_verify
I tested the router and the email from sender@some_domain_name stayed in
the queue for some time, then it got delivered, I suppose on the next queue
run.
The FAQ says one may want to set a special retry rule, so I figured out I
must create a specific rule for this sender and the recipient.
Looking at the Exim spec, I am missing something on the form this rule is
supposed to take. I have:
[email protected] * sender@some_domain_name F,24h,1m
Do you mean to retry every minute for 24 hours ?
