Unfortunately they have all been cleared out, the oldest at the moment
is 2 days. Typical users!!!!
I'll send you the requested output during next week when we should have
some that are more than 4 days old, if that's ok.

The exim running on our imap server has this retry rule:-
imap.qmul.ac.uk * F,1h,5m; F,2h,15m; G,16h,2h,1.5; F,4d,8h
* * F,2h,15m; G,16h,1h,1.5; F,4d,8h
Messages addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] get stuck in the queue because
the user is over quota, and remain in the queue for 10 days even though the
retry rule says 4 days. Does anyone know why?
1. What does
exim -brw [EMAIL PROTECTED]
say?
2. What does
exinext [EMAIL PROTECTED]
say?
3. What is the debug output from
exim -d -M <an id for a stuck message>
?
One possible scenario is that messages pile up for this user; she clears
out her mailbox and one message is delivered, filling it up again. This
sequence continues. The point is that once one message is successfully
delivered, the retry clock for the address will be reset.
HOWEVER: There is a rule that no message should stay on the queue for
longer than the longest retry time for any of its addresses. So what I
wrote above should be superseded by that rule. The debug output might
give a clue as to what is happening.
