SMTP MAXMSGSENT needs retry interval setting

When on user of a tcpip address sends more then 30 emails to another mail server that server turns all emails off to the sending tcpip address.
The SMTP MAXMSGSENT can limit how many connections can be sent to a single tcpip connection. If there was a timer as to when it would start back up that would prevent our mail from getting held up on the receiving tcpip connection server.

    Per the discussion in the comment thread, this requirement will be accepted as a requirement against CSSMTP, not SMTPD.

    Are you asking for this retry interval setting to be provided for SMTP, or CSSMTP? SMTPD is no longer being enhanced and will no longer be part of the product after z/OS V2R2 (as covered by a couple of statements of direction).

    If you are asking for this to be provided for the MaxMsgSent option in CSSMTP, that would seem to be a reasonable request, but I'd like to make sure that I understand the problem. Is the receiving server configured to block the sending IP address if it receives more than "n" emails across some specific period of time from a single IP address? So, you need the retry delay to spread the emails out over a long enough time period to avoid that?
