Hi, AFAIK, if this is not modified by a patch (which i really don't know), the queue retry schedule is not configurable and it's quadratic.
It tries to send the message less and less often until it reaches queuelifetime, then it's tried to be delivered again and generates a bounce if this delivery attempt fails. The retry schedule is explained here: http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#retry-schedule For example, for my 1-day queuelifetime (86400) qmail, it will try 16 (when message arrives, @6 minutes, @26 minutes, etc etc) times until it gives up. I really don't know what does a HUP on qmail-send (that qmailsend doqueue), but i think it tries to deliver all the messages in the queue now. Not sure.

I have my contacts in my yahoo account I just checked. They have been in there for weeks, still not whitelisted. I will create a few more accounts to see if it helps... I have filled out the postmaster forms at yahoo at least a half dozen times, Still no help on their end. The link in the smtp message is to the typical; http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/defer/defer-06.html which resolves to http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/postmaster/postmaster-22.html Yahoo is a clown show... I am not sending any bulk mailings, Purely 1-1 correspondence for my clients. It's ridiculous. -- Sincerely, Paul Heard -----Original Message----- From: Jake Vickers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2008 7:43 PM To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: Re: [qmailtoaster] yahoo deferrals fix Paul Heard wrote: > Thanks Jake, you rule. > > My SPF records checkout, I have been manually running doqueue just to clear > get the mail delivered. > > I have no problems with AOL. > > I will try the yahoo account method thanks! > > I am getting the typical 421 deferred message over and over again. > > Eventually the messages go through if I continue to flush the queue, > But if I leave it alone a lot of them time out the next day and I get the > NDR from my box. > > That's strange. Qmail will attempt to redeliver the message every 5 minutes until queuelifetime is met, so it should eventually make it out. I am just warning you that Yahoo may treat your behavior like AOL would. Yahoo also has a guilty-until-proven-innocent policy on email. In there deferred messages there should be a link in there that explains why you were deferred.
