Thanks. Is there a variable that has retry data? Or should I do one of these: 1) set very very very high retry times (say maybe 3-4 months, a year even?) 2) remove the retry db via cron (since this machine will only be delivering to 1 server anyway, which is on the same lan and operated by me) Thanks for your response Tony. -- Lab tests show that use of micro$oft causes cancer in lab animals Got Gas??? -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
