Hi all,

In one of my tests I'm configuring Postfix client (smtp) to use opportunistic 
TLS with TLSv1.2 protocol only and the next MTA (server side) to use 
opportunistic TLS with TLSv1.1 only,
to see the behaviour of Postfix after a failed handshake.
As expected the TLS handshake fails, but Postfix moves the message to deferred 
queue rather than retrying immediately in plaintext.

What is the reason of the timeout between the incoming_arrival and 
active_arrival (var_min_backoff_time) of a message, before the message is 
allowed to be immediately retransmitted?

Many thanks,

Nik Kostaras
