[SOLVED] sendmail config question ... adjust the delivery retry time

socalheel · 06-02-2014, 10:47 AM

I am not sure if this is even my problem but I want to give it a shot.

In my maillogs I see this error:

Code:

maillog-20140531.gz:May 30 14:29:13 smtp01 sendmail[20012]: s4UITCSH020008: to=<admin@wherever.com>, delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=esmtp, pri=153765, relay=aspmx.l.google.com. [my ip address], dsn=5.0.0, stat=Service unavailable

Then 8 hours later a successful delivery.

Is there a way I can change that retry timeout from 8 hours to say 15 minutes?

Just add -q15m to your sendmail startup command. Different ways to accomplish this, what distro are you using?

sorry about that, i usually am good about putting all the details.

CentOS release 6.5 (Final)

You will need to edit the sendmail file which is here on my centos 6.5 install:

Code:

# cat /etc/sysconfig/sendmail
DAEMON=yes
QUEUE=1h

Change QUEUE to whatever you would like. 15m for example. Then restart the services.

i presume, " m " is the correct method for minutes?

DAEMON=yes
QUEUE=15m
