Couple questions....

After running exim for over a week, there are about a hundred messages
in the queue that are MUCH older than the maximum retry time. I have
auto_thaw set to 6h, ignore_errmsg_errors set to true (as of a few
days ago), and retry config:

*                      *           F,2h,15m; G,16h,2h,1.5; F,2d,6h


When I view the message log from eximon, it shows it hasn't been touched
for 5 days, when it was unfrozen by auto_thaw. I even tried unfreezing one
of them from eximon, but the queue runner doesn't seem to do anything
with it. Some sort of db corruption? What do I need to do to fix it?

Second question, it seems the exim-main.log file got truncated to zero
bytes when I kill -HUP'd the server! Not good... doesn't happen often,
this is the second time I've noticed it though. Anyone else seen this?
At least I *think* its the kill -HUP that is doing it...
