Betreff: [Exim] queue_only and retry rules
hi,

i have an exiscan instlled at a place, exiscanv2 with 3.35 or .36,
thus exim is placed in queue_only mode. the retry rules are

*                      *           F,2h,15m; G,16h,2h,1.5; F,4d,8h


i've just noticed one mail being in the queue for 7 days. it was
undeliverable because the target host has been unreachable, and
connection has been timing out. i did an "exim -qff -d" on it, and
after the timeout has occured, the message was sent back to the sender
with an appropriate error message.

i suppose this is all normal. the question is how to get around the
problem :), that is, if i don't look at it, the message just stays
there indefinitely.

any suggestions ?

TIA,
