ntries=
The number of delivery attempts syslog equate
The ntries
equate
shows the number of times delivery was attempted
before final delivery could be achieved for an
envelope, or before delivery couldn’t be
successfully achieved, resulting in the message
being returned to the sender. When multiple
envelopes are processed from the queue and are
destined for the same host, only the first will be
deferred and have its number of attempts
incremented. The others will not be tried because
the host is unavailable, and therefore will not have
their number of attempts incremented. Thus, the
ntries
equate
shows only actual attempts.
Note that the ntries=
syslog equate is shown only for
recipient records. Also note that the ntries=
syslog equate will appear only
if the LogLevel
option (LogLevel on page 1040) is
set to 10 or above.
