Hi!
I have some messages in my queue for which the remote mailserver keeps
saying '450 Try again later' even though it's most obvious they will not
accept the message ever.
Exim seems to keep these messages around forever. As they are not 5xx
errors they do not freeze and timeout_frozen_after doesn't kick in.
There's one retry-rule in my config:
* * F,4h,5m; F,16h,30m; F,7d,3h
With this retry rule, I would expect to see no messages older than 7
days in my queue. Can anyone explain why this message is still on queue?
