Hi Philip,
Many thanks for the suggestion. I have now modified the first part of the
system filter to:
if error_message or not first_delivery or "${if >{$message_age}{86400}
{yes}{no}}" is "yes"
then
finish
endif
I have the auto_thaw set to release every hour (this will probably need some
tweaking)
and it seems to be ticking over nicely.
Again many thanks
regards
Martyn

first_delivery remains true until there has actually been a delivery
attempt. By freezing in the system filter you stopped the first delivery
attempt happening.
You could perhaps implement what you want using $message_age.
