As documented: address_verify_poll_count (default: normal: 3, overload: 1) HOW MANY TIMES TO QUERY the verify(8) service for the completion of an address verification request in progress. This specifies how many times a query will be made for one address verification request in progress. As documented: address_verify_poll_delay (default: 3s) The DELAY BETWEEN QUERIES for the completion of an address verification request in progress. This specifies the delay betweem the $address_verify_poll_count queries for one address verification request in progress. Wietse
