Change Retry interval

[saporus]

Hello @willpower232 ,

I trust you are doing great.

Could you please show me how to configure this

This message will be retried automatically in xxx minutes.

I would love to configure postal retry interval to every 10 minutes instead of postal increasing the interval.

I want to change it to a stable interval time like "10 minutes" every attempt should be 10 minutes interval in all till it get to the maximum retry time.

Thanks

The increasing interval is a great way of not overloading a server which is currently overloaded or is currently down. Also the increasing interval means the message will be tried further into the future than 18 * 10 minutes.

That said, I believe the retry interval is calculated in this model https://github.com/atech/postal/blob/master/app/models/queued_message.rb

Thanks for the reply.

But still, I am yet to know what to change in that model to be able to solve my request.
Which line exactly am I changing?
What am I going to add and how to add it?

Looking forward to read back from you.

Thanks

There is literally a method in that file called calculate_retry_time which should be the focus of your change but what you want to change it to, I'm not sure. You should consult a ruby developer if possible.

Also be aware that any changes would be overwritten by future updates.

@catphish I trust you are doing great. I am sorry for the tag but could you please assist on my request?
MTA like Port25 has this setting "retry-after 10m" so I would love to configure postal retry interval to every 10 minutes instead of postal increasing the interval.

I want to change it to a stable interval time like "10 minutes" every attempt should be 10 minutes interval in all till it get to the maximum retry time.

Thanks

We don't have any immediate plans to change this but I shall categorise this as a feature request.
