What's Exim retry time when outgoing mail encounters a 421 "Service not available - too busy"
My WHM > Tweak Settings > Email delivery retry time is set to 15 m
When sending a mail out sometime the server gets a 421 "Service not available - too busy", hence Exim queues the message.
From my understanding Exim should retry after 15 min, instead in these two examples he retries after about 50 min (at 15:19 then at 16:09 / at 15:21 then at 16:09)
Why does it take so much before retrying?
