Subject: [exim] Manually Starting Queue Runners - Problems....
Hello Everyone,

I have a situation on which your advise can help.

I start my Exim instance using only "exim -bd", then start queue
runners every 6 minutes via cron using:

*/6     *       *       *       *       root    /usr/local/sbin/exim -qff 2>&1


This is because I have a special-purpose router that delays by 5
minutes all outbound mail. My understanding is that such a router has
also the effect of setting a retry time.
I don't have any special retry rules apart from the default one.

Now, for some reason (perhaps from some obvious thing I am not aware
of) cron daemon occasionally sends me a mail with the following (as a
typical example):

2008-06-19 07:36:01 1K9BsP-000CUx-32 failed to unlink
/var/spool/exim/msglog/P/1K9BsP-000CUx-32
2008-06-19 08:00:00 1K9CFc-000E5d-7s failed to unlink
/var/spool/exim/msglog/c/1K9CFc-000E5d-7s


Can someone figure out what is causing this and the possible solution?
