Subject: Re: [exim] Serious Problems .. over 100,000 messages in the queue

For some reason it is only taking out like 20 emails per 10 minutes =(.. why
is it being so slow with this.. here is some of my configuration for the
queue

queue_run_max = 15
deliver_queue_load_max = 20
auto_thaw = 1d
ignore_bounce_errors_after = 2d
timeout_frozen_after = 2d
