Re: [IMail Forum] Another Peering Issue

[Lewis Yelverton]

Wish that were the case, but mine is not functioning like that. As soon as the SMTP verify is done to the other server and no response is received it treats it like an unknown user and returns the email to sender....Has anyone else seen this or does it hold the emails as it should? Am I missing a setting, I don't believe I am....   Lewis ----- Original Message ----- From: Len Conrad To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2000 9:34 AM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Another Peering Issue One thing that truely surprized me was the fact that if one of my servers goes down or the communication line between them goes down, all mail destined for the downed server is returned to the sender after one failed attempt to connect. hmmm, Page 40: "If either peer server is down, the other peer server will receive and hold mail for it until the first server comes back up." Why will Imail not requeue the mail and follow the same delivery rules as regular SMTP traffic, holding and delivering the mail once the downed server comes back online??????  Am I missing something here? Not afaics. I bet the SMTP client follows the same rules for peer relaying as it does for non-peer relaying, looks in hosts file to see where the other peers are, and then follow the X attempts every Y minutes.  What do you have for those X, Y values?
