Hi all, we have the following entry for retries in our configure file
# Address or Domain Error Retries
# ----------------- ----- -------
* * F,2h,15m; G,16h,2h,1.5; F,8d,8h
So I figure there should be no email in the queue older than 8 days. But
our little cron job which emails me a list of what is in the queue each
night shows the following
1C0dBQ-00065g-Gd from: <owner-balloon@???> : 17 days.
balloonlist@???: SMTP error from
remote mailer after RCPT TO
A quick exim -bp confirms this to be the case, the above is just a
sample there are lots of jobs over 8 days old. Anybody give me a pointer
to what I am doing wrong
A exim -bV gives Exim version 4.41 #1 built 22-Jul-2004 15:52:20
and it is running on latest fedora core 2

# This is a patch for exim-4.14.orig to update it to exim-4.14
#
# To apply this patch:
# STEP 1: Chdir to the source directory.
# STEP 2: Run the 'applypatch' program with this patch file as input.
#
# If you do not have 'applypatch', it is part of the 'makepatch' package
# that you can fetch from the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network:
#
http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/Johan_Vromans/makepatch-x.y.tar.gz
# In the above URL, 'x' should be 2 or higher.
#
# To apply this patch without the use of 'applypatch':
# STEP 1: Chdir to the source directory.
# If you have a decent Bourne-type shell:
# STEP 2: Run the shell with this file as input.
# If you don't have such a shell, you may need to manually create
# the files/directories as shown below.
# STEP 3: Run the 'patch' program with this file as input.
#
# These are the commands needed to create/delete files/directories:
#
mkdir 'Local'
chmod 0755 'Local'
mkdir 'Local/rh6.x'
chmod 0755 'Local/rh6.x'

+ # The Exim Monitor #
+ ##################################################
+
+ # This is the template for the Exim monitor's main build-time configuration
+ # file. It contains settings that are independent of any operating system. It
+ # should be edited and then saved to a file called Local/eximon.conf before
+ # running the make command to build the monitor, if any settings are required.
+ # Local/eximon.conf can be empty if no changes are needed. The examples given
+ # here (commented out) are the default settings.
+
+ # Any settings made in the configuration file can be overridden at run time
+ # by setting up an environment variable with the same name as any of these
+ # options, but preceded by EXIMON_, for example, EXIMON_WINDOW_TITLE.
+
+
+ ##################################################################
+ # Set these variables as appropriate for your system #
+ ##################################################################
+
+ # The qualifying name for your domain. The only use made of this is for
+ # testing that certain addresses are the same when displaying the
+ # log tail, and for shortening sender addresses in the queue display.
+
+ # QUALIFY_DOMAIN=
+
+ # The default minimum width and height for the whole window are 103 and
+ # 162 pixels respectively. This is enough to hold the left-most stripchart
+ # and the quit button. The values can be changed here.
+
+ # MIN_HEIGHT=162
+ # MIN_WIDTH=103
+
+ # If you uncomment the following setting, the window will start up at
+ # its minimum size, instead of the default maximum. There may be a quick
+ # flash during the start-up process. Defining it this way allows it to be
+ # overridden by an environment variable.
+
+ # START_SMALL=${EXIMON_START_SMALL-yes}
+
+ # The title for eximon's main display window. It is possible to have
+ # host name of the machine you are running on substituted into the
+ # title string. If you include the string ${fullhostname} then the
+ # complete name is used. If you include ${hostname} then the full
+ # host name will have the string contained in the DOMAIN variable
+ # stripped from its right-hand end before being substituted. Any other
+ # shell or environment variables may also be included.
+
+ # If you use any substitutions, remember to ensure that the $ and {}
+ # characters are escaped from the shell, e.g. by using single quotes.
+
+ # WINDOW_TITLE="${hostname} eximon"
+
+ # The domain that you want to be stripped from the machine's full hostname
+ # when forming the short host name for the eximon window title, as
+ # described above.
+
+ # DOMAIN=
+
+ # Parameters for the rolling display of the tail of the exim log file.
+ # The width and depth are measured in pixels; LOG_BUFFER specifies the
+ # amount of store to set aside for holding the log tail, which is displayed
+ # in a scrolling window. When this store is full, the earlier 50% of it
+ # is discarded - this is much more efficient that throwing it away line
+ # by line. The number given can be followed by the letter K to indicate
+ # that the value is in kilobytes. A minimum value of 1K is enforced.
+
+ # LOG_DEPTH=300
+ # LOG_WIDTH=950
+ # LOG_BUFFER=20K
+
+ # The font which is used in the log tail display. This is defined in
+ # the normal X manner. It must be a "character cell" font, because this
+ # is required by the text widget.
+
+ # LOG_FONT=-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-14-140-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1

+ # Parameters for the display of message that are on the exim queue.
+ # The width and depth are measured in pixels.
+
+ # QUEUE_DEPTH=200
+ # QUEUE_WIDTH=950
+
+ # The font which is used in the queue display.
+
+ # QUEUE_FONT=$LOG_FONT
+
+ # When a message has more than one undelivered address, they are listed
+ # one below the other. A limit can be placed on the number of addresses
+ # displayed for any one message. If there are more, then "..." is used
+ # to indicate this.
+
+ # QUEUE_MAX_ADDRESSES=10
+
+ # The display of the contents of the queue is updated every QUEUE_INTERVAL
+ # seconds by default (there is a button to request update).
+
+ # QUEUE_INTERVAL=300
+
+ # The size of the popup text window that is used for looking at the
+ # contents of messages, etc.
+
+ # TEXT_DEPTH=200
+
+ # The keystroke/mouse-operation that is used to pop up the menu in the
+ # queue window is configurable. The default is Shift with the lefthand
+ # mouse button. The name of an alternative can be specified in the standard
+ # X way of naming these things. With the default configuration for the monitor,
+ # individuals can override this by setting the EXIMON_MENU_EVENT environment
+ # variable.
+
+ # MENU_EVENT='Shift<Btn1Down>'
+
+ # When the menu is used to perform an operation on a message, the output
+ # from the exim command that is generated is displayed in a separate window
+ # by default. Set this option to "no" if you don't want to see the output -
+ # the result of the operation is normally visible in the log window in any
+ # case. This does not apply to the output generated from attempting to
+ # deliver a message. That is always shown.
+
+ # ACTION_OUTPUT=yes
+
+ # When some action is taken on a message, such as freezing it, or changing
+ # its recipients, the queue display is normally automatically updated. On
+ # systems that have very large queues, this can take some time and be dis-
+ # tracting. If this option is set to "no", the queue display is no longer
+ # automatically updated after an action is applied to a message.
+
+ # ACTION_QUEUE_UPDATE=yes
+
+ # When the menu item to display a message's body is invoked, the amount
+ # of data is limited to BODY_MAX bytes. This limit is a safety precaution
+ # to save the screen scrolling for ever on an enormous message.
+
+ # BODY_MAX=20000
+
+ # The stripcharts are updated every STRIPCHART_INTERVAL seconds.
+
+ # STRIPCHART_INTERVAL=60
+
+ # A stripchart showing the count of messages in the queue is always
+ # displayed on the left of eximon's window. Its name is "queue" by
+ # default, but can be changed by this variable.
+
+ # QUEUE_STRIPCHART_NAME=queue
+
+ # The following variable may be set to the name of a disc partition. If
+ # it is, a stripchart showing the percentage fullness of the partition
+ # will be displayed as the second stripchart. This can be used to keep
+ # a display of a mail spool partition on the screen.
+
+ # SIZE_STRIPCHART=/var/mail
+
+ # The name of the size stripchart will be the last component of SIZE_STRIPCHART
+ # unless the following variable is set to override it.
+
+ # SIZE_STRIPCHART_NAME=space
+
+ # The following variable contains a specification of which stripcharts
+ # you want eximon to display based on log entries. The string consists of
+ # pairs of strings, delimited by slash characters. The first string in each
+ # pair is a regular expression that matches some distinguishing feature in a
+ # exim log entry.
+
+ # Entries that match the expression will be counted and displayed in a
+ # stripchart whose title is given by the second string. The string may
+ # be continued over several input lines, provided that it is split
+ # after a slash, and an additional slash (optionally preceded by white
+ # space) is included at the start of the continuation line.
+
+ # Stripcharts configured by the following parameter are displayed to the
+ # right of the queue and size stripcharts, in the order defined here.
