Re: *BEST* SMTP retry values

Kern, Mary T wrote:
We had a problem with our network last night between 10 and just
after midnight. We have a job run at about 10:20 that sends out many
many emails. Our SMTP server is set to 3 retries at 30 minute
intervals. That's it. So, of course, these emails never got sent.
I know that we changed this some time ago. I think we should
probably have at least one that retries *hours* later or possibly
even the next day. Can anyone give me an idea of good retry
intervals?

Mary:

I don't specifically know about the System i smtp server ... but most
other mail servers consider delivery retries in terms of DAYS, not hours.

My server (the one that the list software uses) will try to deliver for
3 days before giving up.
