I sent a message on May 10. Today I got the "host ... refused to talk to me" bounce message.
My mail log shows multiple attempts to deliver, all with a result of host... "refused to talk to me: 554" and status=deferred What can I change to make postfix give up sooner, say, after 3 attempts? It tried for 5 days. I don't want to defer these for 5 days of repeated trying. I want to know!
