I am having problems stopping the continuing attempts to reply bounce
messages back to spammers who don't even exist. I want to try to reply
back if there is a bounce, but I don't want it to continue to try if there
are problems. I do not want to retry undeliverable bounce messages. (I had
an email to this list a month ago about this, but I never got it figured
out.)
I am using Exim 3.12 (Debian package 3.12-10).
My main configuration has:
## delivery attempted on frozen messages if 8 hours old
## this was 12 hours
auto_thaw = 8h
## 17/Jan/2001 reed -- don't try to send undeliverable bounce messages
# EXim FAQ #Q0508
ignore_errmsg_errors_after = 12h
My retry configuration is:
* * F,2h,15m; G,16h,2h,1.5; F,4d,8h
Here are some examples of mails I want to only try replying one time to:
/var/log/exim/mainlog.0:2001-02-08 10:08:02 14QYOX-0005dK-00 Unfrozen by
auto-thaw

I usually have about 25 different problems in my queue. But they are
usually removed at five days. I want them to be tried one time and then
removed -- I want them to be gone within one day.)
Any ideas on how I can get this "ignore_errmsg_errors_after" to work?
(Yes, I have read about this is the FAQ and SPEC, but I may ... probably
have overlooked something.)
Any examples?
Thanks,
Jeremy C. Reed
