Hi There,

We receive over 500 log entries per day from Comcast that look like this:

Sep 18 03:05:07 mail0 r105/smtp[15929]: AE3378857BA: to=<some...@comcast.net>,
relay=mx1.comcast.net[96.114.157.80]:25, delay=0.69,
delays=0/0.01/0.6/0.08, dsn=4.1.0, status=deferred (host
mx1.comcast.net[96.114.157.80]
said: 421 4.1.0 75.126.209.105 Throttled - try again later. Please see
http://postmaster.comcast.net/smtp-error-codes.php#RL000001 (in reply to
MAIL FROM command))

The postmaster url says (among other things):

If the rate-limit is impacting your ability to deliver email, shortening
your server's delivery retry interval may resolve the issue.

We decreased the delivery retry interval.

queue_run_delay = 3m
minimal_backoff_time = 3m
maximal_backoff_time = 30m

We have also decreased the arrival rate of outbound email to Postfix for
all of the email we send. We hoped that the number of deferrals would
reduce over time -- but this has not been the case.

This deferred / retry seems to take a good deal of resources from both
Comcast and the sender of email.  Is there anything we can do to reduce the
impact?

Thanks, Greg
