Hi there,
no idea anyone? So I guess this is a bug and I should write to exim-devel?
Thanks

Hi!
I'm trying to configure exim to throw away all messages it couldn't deliver within 3 days. This is my relevant
configuration:
> begin retry
>
> * * G,3d,30m,1.5
However looking at the contents of /var/spool/exim4 I see many many files in input/* much older than 3 days.

Trying to fix this a few weeks ago, I stopped exim, then deleted all contents of /var/spool/exim4 and restarted it. But
it seems it didn't help at all.
Is this a known bug, limitation or am I doing something wrong?
