[IMail Forum] Sending Attmpts by the IMail Server

[Ron Harris]

Our mail server will continue trying to send a message 20 times before it bounces the message back to the sender.  Senders often don’t know they mistyped an e-mail address for up to 24 hours.  This situation is obviously detrimental when a sender is dealing with a time sensitive subject.  I am considering adjusting the number of attempts to speed up the bounced message.   What number do most people use?  Anyone?  Beuller?     Thanks for your input.   Ron
