I set split configuration, and changed conf.d/retry/30_exim4-config to read: * * F,4d,30s ... and ran update-exim4.conf. But the mail that was in the queue is still not being sent. "T=remote_smtp_smarthost_defer (-53): retry time not reached for any host." I also went back to unsplit configuration, put this line in the template, ran update-exim4.conf and verified the new line appears in /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated ... it still does not send the queued mail. I thought maybe this was a separate time value for waiting on the smarthost that has no configuration, because of the separate db file /var/spool/exim4/db/wait-remote_smtp_smarthost, but I tried removing that alone and its lockfile and restarting exim, but I get the same error. It does not get sent until I remove /var/spool/exim4/db/retry (and lockfile) and restart exim. Then the message unqueues immediately. As a wishlist item, it would be cool, when it works, if there could be separate retry settings for AC or battery. When I'm on AC I want to try frequently to send mail when I have a connection. If I'm on battery, I don't want to keep the disks spinning, especially when the queue is empty. Let me know if I can check something else.
