Re: exim4: avoiding "retry time not reached for any host"

Part of the Exim configuration file are Retry rules wich govern how
often Exim (guess what) retries failed deliveries. You shoul'd adjust
that to your needs

Hi,

In /etc/default/exim4, I've set:

QUEUEINTERVAL='5m'

to run the queue every 5 minutes, as I often get temporary errors
(in particular with the network where my machine is currently). But
this is not sufficient, I still get things like that in my logs:

2006-09-28 10:28:35 Start queue run: pid=28274
2006-09-28 10:28:35 1GSr25-0007G4-GM == xxxxxx@xxxxx.xxxx.xxx.xx R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost defer (-53): retry time not reached for any host
2006-09-28 10:28:35 1GSr25-0007G4-GM == xxxxxxx@xxxx.xx R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost defer (-53): retry time not reached for any host
2006-09-28 10:28:35 1GSr25-0007G4-GM == xxxx@xxxxxx.xxx R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost defer (-53): retry time not reached for any host
2006-09-28 10:28:35 1GSr25-0007G4-GM == xxxx.xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xx <xxxx.xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xx> R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost defer (-53): retry time not reached for any host
2006-09-28 10:28:35 1GSr25-0007G4-GM == xxxxxxx.xxxxxxx@xxxxx.xx <xxxxxxx.xxxxxxx@xxxxx.xx> R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost defer (-53): retry time not reached for any host
2006-09-28 10:28:35 1GSr25-0007G4-GM == xxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost defer (-53): retry time not reached for any host
2006-09-28 10:28:35 End queue run: pid=28274

The exim4 FAQ explains how one can force a delivery manually (with
the -qf option), but I want exim4 to try again every time the queue
is run (my machine doesn't send much mail, but mail is sometimes
urgent, hence this choice). How can I do that?

TIA,
