But as Noel noted in his reponse to Serge, the Mailet API does not support it. You could work around this by optionally comma delimiting an attempts value in the <delayTime> tag... <delayTime> msecs [, attempts]</delayTime> <delayTime> 600000 </delayTime> <delayTime> 600000, 3</delayTime> > but in this case are > maxRetries then > to be disregarded?

(assuming that attempts > defaults to 1 if not > specified) I do not believe the maxRetries value should ever be disregarded. (1) When maxRetries > #delayTimes * #attempts the value of the last delay time should be used after #delayTimes * #attempts. It does not matter if this last delay time has an attempts value or not. (2) When maxRetries < #delayTimes * #attempts we have a conflict! Personally, I would honour the maxRetries value which is symetrical with (1). The nice thing about this is the current syntax still works and you get the versatility you require. -- Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
