We are putting TMDA ( challenge / response mail system) on our mail
server
(Xserver running OS X 10.4.8)

We have it almost running but the final delivery is giving us a
problem.

I'm no expert on any of this but will try and explain where we are.

When the mail comes in it is passed on to tmda through the .forward
file.
tmda decides if it goes right through or gets challenged. This part is
all working fine.

After that tmda re-injects it back into the postfix system but it does
not get delivered right away.

>From what I can tell Postfix puts it somewhere to be delivered next
time the delivery part of postfix runs.
I think it missed it's window to get delivered by Postfix.

Now if I do a "postqueue -p" I can see it waiting...

postqueue -p
-Queue ID- --Size-- ----Arrival Time---- -Sender/Recipient-------
C86D53D8315 1425 Wed Dec 6 08:59:07 pcoleman(a)gmail.com
pat(a)our.host.com

If I do a "postfix reload" the mail is delivered right away.

Also if I send another email the first one is delivered and the second
one gets put
in the queue to be delivered later.

If I leave it alone (no reload, no new mail) it will eventually get
delivered, not sure how long but a long time.
Maybe more than an hour later.

So does Postfix have some sort of time parameter that tells it to check
to see if there is mail to be delivered?

If so do you know what it's called and where it can be changed to
something smaller?

Or is there some other way to get the mail delivered right away?

Thanks.

Pat.

Try here:

Also, the TMDA author (Jason Mastaler <jason(a)mastaler.com>) is
familiar with Postfix.

Thanks.

Tried it many times. No one gets back with any ideas so I thought I try
a postfix forum.
I've had Jason Mastaler email me and he just says read the docs.

It seems to me it's a postfix thing anyway? I'

I don't know enough about how TMDA works to understand the problem of
why an immediate delivery is not attempted.

But the postfix parameters you asked about, are described in
"man 5 postconf":

queue_run_delay
minimal_backoff_time
maximal_backoff time
