We have our SMTP retry timer set as follows: Retry time (in minutes): 60 Retries before returning to sender: 240
Now technically this means that messages should be bounced 240 hours after they are originally sent. In reality however it takes about 2.5 hours (the reason it's set to 240 is because it only takes a few minutes if it's set lower). We do not have a mail gateway server set up or configured. It doesn't seem to matter what we set the retry timer to - it's ignored. 240 minutes after the send the message bounces. This is kind of a pain for outgoing messages, but it's even more of a pain for ETRN users where occasionally their server might be down for a couple of hours (T is down, or SDSL or whatever) and the mail starts bouncing instead of accumulating on our server as it should. Anyone have any ideas? Have we inadvertently set some other setting that disables the timer?
