How to increase time between SMTP resending attempts?

I see ASG resends mail every minute:

2010:10:19-13:30:05 asg exim[24258]: 2010-10-19 13:30:05 13Ad90-0006J8-2A == ***@yyy.com R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp defer (-46): SMTP error from remote mail server after DATA: host mailx.hoster.ru [195.128.50.36]: 451 Greylisting is in progress. Please, delay the message for at least 15 minutes before retry.
2010:10:19-13:31:00 asg exim[24418]: 2010-10-19 13:31:00 13Ad90-0006J8-2A == ***@yyy.com R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp defer (-53): retry time not reached for any host
2010:10:19-13:32:01 asg exim[24457]: 2010-10-19 13:32:01 13Ad90-0006J8-2A == ***@yyy.com R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp defer (-53): retry time not reached for any host

How to increase that interval?

Many thanks in advance.

hello,

You can edit /var/storage/chroot-smtp/etc/exim.conf file, replacing the following line with your intervals:
begin retry

* * F,2h,2m; G,16h,1h,1.5; F,3d,6h

A little explanation:

* means every domain
F,2h,2m means try every 2 minutes for 2 hours
G,16h,1h,1.5 means try with intervals starting at 1 hour and increasing by a factor of 1.5 up to 16 hours (after the first 2 hours)
F,3d,6h means then continue every 6 hours up to 3 days (after the 16 hours)

Please note that the following method is not supported by astaro and configuration is a subject of change by astaro up2date process. Also note that after making these changes exim process has to be restarted in order to reload the configuration file.
