[Intelmq-users] Max retries issue

[Vaclav Bruzek]

Hi mailinglist,
I've went over intelmq logs today and that some bots keep retrying
indefinitely when they encounter a failure. However each of those bots have
*error_max_retries* set to 1 (and *error_retry_delay *to 60). Which in my
mind should limit the bot to just try one more time and than give up and
sleep (if sleep is set up) however this is not happening. Am I doing
something wrong or does this functionality work differently? My version of
intelmq is 1.1.1 in Docker on Ubuntu 18.04 as base.

Following is an example from logs os collector collecting from phishtank:
