How can I prevent error bounces from tieing up LSMTP?
It’s not necessary and also unwise to explicity do this; LSMTP already gives preference to new, untried outgoing connections before retrying destinations in the queue that have already been tried unsuccessfully. Although some customers have altered LSMTP’s retry settings on the theory that this will give LSMTP more resources for the initial part of the mailing, in reality these types of changes only make LSMTP less efficient. L-Soft strongly recommends that you not make such changes.
