Hello, I want to submit a problem I just try to understand and solve. We have here 3 massive post servers under XMAIL servers WS2003. We send around 1.5M messages with them each day.
I've used zinc for customizing retries for our needs with: D:\dev\mail\xmail utility\zinc>zinc 400 1 11 01 send-time = 0 next-try = 400 @ 0 days 00 hours 00 minutes 00 seconds. 02 send-time = 400 next-try = 800 @ 0 days 00 hours 06 minutes 40 seconds. 03 send-time = 1200 next-try = 1600 @ 0 days 00 hours 20 minutes 00 seconds. 04 send-time = 2800 next-try = 3200 @ 0 days 00 hours 46 minutes 40 seconds. 05 send-time = 6000 next-try = 6400 @ 0 days 01 hours 40 minutes 00 seconds. 06 send-time = 12400 next-try = 12800 @ 0 days 03 hours 26 minutes 40 seconds. 07 send-time = 25200 next-try = 25600 @ 0 days 07 hours 00 minutes 00 seconds. 08 send-time = 50800 next-try = 51200 @ 0 days 14 hours 06 minutes 40 seconds. 09 send-time = 102000 next-try = 102400 @ 1 days 04 hours 20 minutes 00 seconds. 10 send-time = 204400 next-try = 204800 @ 2 days 08 hours 46 minutes 40 seconds. 11 send-time = 409200 next-try = 409600 @ 4 days 17 hours 40 minutes 00 seconds. Yesterday for another reason I grep XMAIL logs for 15 emailing campaigns, then I found strange results, we still successfully SMTP after the 4 days announced by ZINC. Here are the results: 20060301 4043 3917 4091 20060302 400 336 342 20060303 0 0 1 20060304 285 169 188 20060305 0 0 0 20060306 112 972 900 20060307 0 0 0 First column is the date. Third ones are the 3 post servers SMTP results, and I still get SMTP after 6 days. This exactly the same for all the 15 campaigns. I need to precise, if it can helps: - each campaign are marked with one ID in our mail-from so it can be twice the same line. - We automatically restart XMAIL every 24 hours, stopping it normally in a batch, then start it with: net stop "Xmail Server" net start "Xmail Server" - Out registry entry is: -Qn 256 -Ql -Ll -Ql -Sl -Sp 25 -Qt 400 -Qi 1 -Qr 11 -Ln 14 Thank you for your hep, -- DOLIST Technical Center __________________________________________________ DOLIST.NET, Internet E-mail List Server Technology DOLIST information at : http://www.dolist.net - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
