Pkg exim4 users - Jul 2006 - no warnings, timeouts for some remote hosts

Hi,

I want that for some remote hosts (or domains) the mail is queued
without any time limit, and without warnings be send out. Any way to do
that? (I didn''t find any, but it might belong in the exim-wiki if there
is an answer.)


Cheers,
Andi

Wouldn''t a retry-rule for the specific domains and adapting
delay_warning_condition work?

hm, last time I tried I failed poorly on it. Could you spell it out more
directly what this means for me?

The basic purpose is: I don''t want that users receive warnings if any
of
"my" (hidden) hosts are down - I notice that in nagios anyways, and if
the fixing takes longer, I always have the chance to re-route messages
or snoop in the queue, as they''re already on my servers.

Hello,
I have never done what you are asking for, so I just named the
obvious stuff.

I would have tried something like this:
retry rule:
+list_of_domains_hosted_on_hiddenhosts * F,1d,30m; F,365d,23h

and
delay_warning_condition = \
   ${if or {\
     {match{$h_precedence:}{(?i)bulk|list|junk}}\
     {match_domain{$domain}{+list_of_domains_hosted_on_hiddenhosts}}\
   }{no}{yes}}

How clumsy. That should be a modifier to a retry rule.
