Conversational Bounces and SMTP Routes Message Filter actions
Mappings for SMTP Routes and message filter actions are not applied to the routing of SMTP bounce
messages generated by the appliance as a result of a conversational bounce. When an Cisco IronPort
appliance receives a conversational bounce message, it generates an SMTP bounce message back to the
Envelope Sender of the original message. In this case, the appliance is actually generating the message,
so any SMTP Routes that apply to an injected message for relaying do not apply.

Initial number of
seconds to wait before
retrying an
unreachable host
seconds to wait before
retrying an
unreachable host
The amount of time the system should wait before
retrying a host that is unreachable. The default is 60 seconds.
Max interval allowed
between retries to an
unreachable host
between retries to an
unreachable host
The maximum amount of time the system should wait before retrying a host that
is unreachable. The default is 3,600 seconds (1 hour). When the delivery initially
fails due to the host being down, it will start with the minimum number of
seconds retry value, and for each subsequent retry to the downed host, will
increase the duration, up to this maximum number of seconds value.
