That is an interesting idea, which I have noted. However, it isn't all that simple because everything that scans queues, including eximon, exim -bp, etc, would have to be upgraded to understand it. Even if that were done, though, there is a flaw in this plan. Remember that *sometimes* when a frozen message is encountered, it *is* processed as a result of auto_that, timeout_frozen_after, and ignore_bounce_errors_after. Something other than a simple -F would be needed to encode the time of freezing. -- Philip Hazel University of Cambridge Computing Service Get the Exim 4 book: http://www.uit.co.uk/exim-book -- ## 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/
