- I use decwrl ftpmail server all the time from my HP800 and I have the same
- problem. There is no NFS involved over here so I think its the volume of
- mail being sent to one user simultaneously. I've played with HP's sendmail
- quite a bit and I am unaware of a way to size up this retry of 10 so I guess
- it must be a hard-coded retry counter. Unless someone fixes this, the only
- alternative would be to use another sendmail. IDA sendmail is supposed to
- be good but I haven't looked at it personally.
