You can set the exim retry time. See the below URLs:

Exim Specification - 33. Retry configuration
32. Retry configuration

Also check the number of mails in the queue.

# exim -bpc

Yes

the question is how to set retry rule for this to force to retry after x minutes and not after more than 3 hours ?

I know how to work with retry rules, but not found this specify error ()

Hello

The primary issue I see is this notice:

no immediate delivery: load average 12.74

This indicates delivery is not possible because your server load is higher than the configured load threshold defined in the /etc/exim.conf file. You can find that value via:

# grep queue_only_load /etc/exim.conf

You will need to increase this value via the "Advanced Editor" tab of "WHM Home » Service Configuration » Exim Configuration Manager", or reduce the load on the server to allow for delivery.

Thank you.

Hello Michael

yes, but in our scenario server has been "overloaded" only for a few minutes while the delivery was delayed for hours

so, we would like to settings the retry rules for this any x minutes and not any 4/5 hours

Thanks

By default, Exim specifies retries every 15 minutes for 2 hours, then increasing retry intervals, starting at 1 hour and increasing each time by a factor of 1.5, up to 16 hours, then retries every 8 hours until 4 days have passed since the first failed delivery. This is documented at:

32. Retry configuration

You can edit these rules via the "Advanced Editor" in "WHM Home » Service Configuration » Exim Configuration Manager". The section is titled:

"Section: RETRYBLOCK"

Thank you.

Hi Michael

ok, but you known what is the specified rule for this ?

example : for quota I can set

* quota F,1h,15m; G,2d,1h,2;

but what for delivered delay / load average ? there is error defined ?

Thanks

These messages are placed in the queue and the standard retry rules apply. I'm not aware of a method to implement custom retry rules for these specific types of messages.

Thank you.
