Hi, I am new to Exim. I use it so that Debian servers can send me notifications (through a smarthost).
First, maybe I should use a simpler MTA but I need : - queueing (it can happen that the server has not Internet connection and I do not want to lost any notification) - ability to rewrite subject (this help recognize which server sent the mail without having to look the email headers) - ability to use a smarthost (and thus ability to rewrite "From:" header) Anyway, during tests I noticed that some emails are sent immediately (what I prefer), while other are queued (introducing useless delay): - Why this difference ? - What could I do to avoid the queue ? Here is a sample log showing a two emails behaving differently: 2017-12-16 11:18:05 Start queue run: pid=20982 2017-12-16 11:18:05 End queue run: pid=20982 2017-12-16 11:21:30 1eQ9b0-0005YG-C1 <= [email protected] U=root P=local S=452 2017-12-16 11:21:35 1eQ9b0-0005YG-C1 => [email protected] R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost H=smtp.phpnet.org [194.110.192.60] X=TLS1.2:RSA_AES_256_CBC_SHA1:256 CV=yes DN="CN=*.phpnet.org" A=plain C="250 OK id=1eQ9b5-0000dU-4e" 2017-12-16 11:21:35 1eQ9b0-0005YG-C1 Completed 2017-12-16 11:34:37 1eQ9nh-0005zG-PL <= [email protected] U=root P=local S=180280 2017-12-16 11:48:05 Start queue run: pid=24317 2017-12-16 11:48:11 1eQ9nh-0005zG-PL => [email protected] R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost H=smtp.phpnet.org [46.255.160.212] X=TLS1.2:RSA_AES_256_CBC_SHA1:256 CV=yes DN="CN=*.phpnet.org" A=plain C="250 OK id=1eQA0o-0006sY-4W" 2017-12-16 11:48:11 1eQ9nh-0005zG-PL Completed 2017-12-16 11:48:11 End queue run: pid=24317 I have read the FAQ, but I could not find something an answer.
