Hi,
As illustrated below, exim -R seems to force delivery of frozen messages.
This is not documented too well, and is not what was wanted in this case.
Circumvention please. I am running Exim 2.12 #13. The same also happened
with Exim 1.92.
1999-03-02 00:54:05 10HdRl-0000o7-00 <= kjk118@??? H=(zeus.internetconnection.net) [151.196.82.192] U=qmailr P=smtp S=2471 T="Raise MILLIONS Fast! 100% Portfolio Investors Lists!" from <kjk118@???> for 9404727d@???
1999-03-02 00:54:05 10HdRl-0000o7-00 Frozen by message filter: junk suspected. Subject: Raise MILLIONS Fast! 100% Portfolio Investors Lists!
1999-03-02 09:15:00 Start queue run: pid=14439 -R student.gla.ac.uk
1999-03-02 09:15:00 10HdRl-0000o7-00 Unfrozen by forced delivery
1999-03-02 09:15:00 10HdRl-0000o7-00 => 9404727d@??? <9404727d@???> R=hubbing_mxs T=remote_smtp H=studentmail1.gla.ac.uk [130.209.6.53] C="250 Data received OK."
1999-03-02 09:15:00 10HdRl-0000o7-00 Completed
1999-03-02 09:15:00 End queue run: pid=14439 -R student.gla.ac.uk
Background:
The "exim -R student.gla.ac.uk" commands are issued during the day
via a cron job. This is used because even with frequent retry rules on
student.gla.ac.uk and *.student.gla, queues build up without the "-R".
I should add that 9404727d@??? is converted to
9404727d@??? by an alias table, and the relevant router
looks like this:
hubbing_mxs:
driver=domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list=" \
^[0-9]+(?i)\\.(vet|sci|ace)\\.student\\.gla$ studentmail1.gla.ac.uk bydns_a; \
^([0-9]+|efl)(?i)\\.(med|arts)\\.student\\.gla$ studentmail3.gla.ac.uk bydns_a; \
*.student.gla studentmail2.gla.ac.uk bydns_a
Best wishes,
Paul R.
