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 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

          [EMAIL PROTECTED]

          [EMAIL PROTECTED]

          [EMAIL PROTECTED]

          [EMAIL PROTECTED]

          [EMAIL PROTECTED]

          [EMAIL PROTECTED]

          [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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
