Instead of receiving emails for failed deliveries, I just have a daily eximstats report and I have the mailq emailed to me once per day. This tells me which messages are frozen. (Receiving two emails is a lot better to me than receiving numerous -- sometimes thousands -- emails.) http://www.exim.org/exim-html-3.10/doc/html/spec_50.html#IDX1786 > So is there a way to automatically fail messages to postmaster once > delivery has been given up on? I use "auto_thaw" and my frozen messages are removed according to the retry configuration. So in other words: I do not do anything. http://www.exim.org/exim-html-3.10/doc/html/spec_3.html#IDX37 http://www.exim.org/exim-html-3.10/doc/html/spec_31.html#IDX1515 (By the way... "frozen" is not mentioned in http://www.exim.org/FAQ.html. Seems like it should be.) Jeremy C. Reed ....................................................
