Hello!
Just want to make sure I've got it right after some googling around. So if the sending attempt fails, then Postfix waits for 5 minutes and checks its deferred queue (queue_run_delay parametr) and then sends again. It complies with the minimal_backoff_time (which is 5 minites by default). After that Postfix each time doubles the wait time period till it reaches 66,66 minutes approx. (maximal_backoff_time, default for which is 4000 sec.). So then Postfix keep on trying approx. every hour for 5 days (maximal_queue_lifetime, default for which is 5 d). Correct???
P.S. One more thing... And what if in my main.cf file those parameters aren't listed, then what? Does Postfix follow its default guidelines nevertheless?
