- bigp3t3 10y agoThat's why sending mta's should resend. Think sendmail does this every few hours or so
- sbierwagen 10y agoA connection timeout is a soft bounce. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5321#section-4.5.4.1 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5321#section-4.5.4.1 The sender MUST delay retrying a particular destination after one attempt has failed. In general, the retry interval SHOULD be at least 30 minutes; however, more sophisticated and variable strategies will be beneficial when the SMTP client can determine the reason for non-delivery. Retries continue until the message is transmitted or the sender gives up; the give-up time generally needs to be at least 4-5 days. It MAY be appropriate to set a shorter maximum number of retries for non- delivery notifications and equivalent error messages than for standard messages. The parameters to the retry algorithm MUST be configurable.
