after there is some rejection, add "sleep/delay" before resuming
sending, this timer could be different from previous "constant
sending delay" as flow-control, this rejection delay is more like
"ok, it seems you are not happy or too busy, I am going to wait a
bit. So we have two timers, one is timer for flow control, another
is only fired when being rejected.
Is there any parameter in postfix to play for this rejection timer?
If so, could you give me some tips? If not, do you have some idea
how to enhance postfix to do it, if this is reasonable solution?
It isn't entirely clear what specific problem you are trying to solve,
but reading this may help: http://www.postfix.org/rate.html#backoff
Rejections from various ISPs can happen for any number of reasons, and
unless you look at the specific rejection errors you are getting you
are going to have a hard time correcting the issues. Simply adding
delays is unlikely to fix most such issues.
Specific log entries would be helpful in troubleshooting further.
