They aren't frozen for ever if you set auto_thaw. Eventually one thaw
will try, fail, and discover it is past the ultimate throw-away time.
You can also set
ignore_errmsg_errors
which cause them just to be thrown away, or
ignore_errmsg_errors_after
which causes them to be thrown away after some specific time, and you
can also set
freeze_tell_mailmaster, which will send an informative message whenever
a message is frozen.

Yes. Routers too. Only for transports is the order unimportant.
