Subject: [Exim] Delete failed bounce notifications...
I'm trying to delete failed bounce notifications, which are typically
the result of spam coming in with invalid From and Reply-To addresses.

I have:

auto_thaw = 24h
ignore_bounce_errors_after = 12h

on exim 4.2. I also have many of these messages in my queue for more
than 12h--some are as old as 29h:

29h  3.4K 19jgDP-000362-Vh <>
           edith@???


27h  3.4K 19jheh-0007Lj-Ga <>
           sq45fvos@???


27h  3.8K 19jher-0007SK-Lu <>
           romaine@???


etc. If I force a run of one of these messages, I get a "connection
refused", which is expected. How can I automatically remove these from
the queue?
