Backoff settings for mail.ru
« on: July 04, 2012, 10:18:27 AM »

I've been noticing responses back from Mail.ru recently:

451 You have exceeded message receiving limit for user ****@mail.ru, and i will not accept any messages to this user within 1 minute

I am wondering if there is a good way to handle this with backoff or message rate limiting. I am currently testing a max per minute for all messages to mail.ru, but is there a way to do it per recipient?

Recipient rate limiting is not supported, not sure if this is technically feasible either to even consider it, given how much current and historically data that PowerMTA would need to store/have access to in real time, using the type of hardware customers tend to run on.

Assuming that you are receiving this after the RCPT TO command, is PowerMTA attempting to deliver to the next recipient there?  Why not let PowerMTA just handle this normally, moving on to the next recipient and retrying that recipient later?

Have they told you specifically or are you seeing any trend there that indicates that receiving this error hurts your reputation.  On the surface, seems like a simple error that is straightforward, and which will not negatively impact your reputation.  What is the cause for concern when receiving this error?   That would be good to know.

I think I will take your suggestion and just let PMTA handle it. It does look like it just moves to the next recipient, so it should be fine. Thanks!
