Hi

Problem:I want exim to mail me every time there is a frozen message.

K - so I added the following lines to my configuration file:
errors_address = postmaster
freeze_tell_mailmaster = true

Also I added an alias for postmaster to my own mailbox.

Now if I do......the following....

[root@mail /root]# exim -bP
no_accept_8bitmime
accept_timeout = 0s
admin_groups =
no_always_bcc
auto_thaw = 0s
bi_command =
check_log_inodes = 0
check_log_space = 0
check_spool_inodes = 0
check_spool_space = 0
no_collapse_source_routes
daemon_smtp_port =
debug_level = -1
delay_warning = 1d
delay_warning_condition = ${if
match{$h_precedence:}{(?i)bulk|list|junk}{no}{yes}}
deliver_load_max =
deliver_queue_load_max =
delivery_date_remove
dns_again_means_nonexist =
dns_check_names
dns_check_names_pattern = (?i)^(?>(?(1)\.|())[^\W_](?>[a-z0-9-]*[^\W_])?)+$
dns_retrans = 0s
dns_retry = 0
envelope_to_remove
errmsg_file =
errmsg_text =
errors_address = postmaster
errors_copy =
errors_reply_to =
exim_group =
exim_path = /usr/local/sbin/exim
exim_user =
extract_addresses_remove_arguments
finduser_retries = 0
no_forbid_domain_literals
freeze_tell_mailmaster
gecos_name =

You will see there is both the commands, but erm if I run a test message and
it gets frozen by exim, exim does not mail me to tell me about it.

What am I doing wrong?
