If you want to throw away messages sooner, you need change your retry rules: http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch32.html > So it tried to send the message for 5 minutes and then timedout and kept the > message on the list?

Failure to connect is a temporary error, not a permanent error. You'd be upset if your legitimate email was deleted after the first delivery attempt, just because it couldn't connect at that time. > Or how can I make it timeout after 1 minute instead of 5. http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch30.html#SECID146 but I really don't recommend changing it. Maybe a better approach would be to work out why you've got so many messages in the queue in the first place.
