Hi folks
I have tried miserably to understand how some messages just stay on the
queue and don't get frozen.
My generic retry setting is
* * F,2h,15m; F,22h,60m; G,3d,2h,1.5
So after 4 days, if a message fails during the next queue run, it should
get frozen?
In my queue I have many like
7d 1003 1F1ybs-0006WC-KQ <feapnedsafqbc@???>
mason@???
chandler@???
byrd@???
andrews@???
mfriend@???

Its been on the queue for 7 days! Which of those exinext answers is the
correct one? Sometimes when I run exinext I get screenfuls.
I ran exinext again -

Whats going on?
I am running exim 4.50. I ran exim_tidydb a few days ago but it is not a
scheduled job yet.
Thanks
