If you want to get mail out quickly, smtp_fallback_relay is a better solution than letting email sit in the queue for 4 hours. High-volume deliveries require short SMTP timeouts (10-20 seconds at most), while problematic destinations require much longer timeouts. The the two are incompatible with each other. Wietse
