Hi! I'm trying to configure exim to throw away all messages it couldn't deliver within 3 days. This is my relevant configuration:
> begin retry > > * * G,3d,30m,1.5 However looking at the contents of /var/spool/exim4 I see many many files in input/* much older than 3 days. > -rw-r----- 1 Debian-exim Debian-exim 5263 Nov 7 22:00 1Xmqds-00030B-8q-D > -rw-r----- 1 Debian-exim Debian-exim 949 Nov 7 23:06 1Xmqds-00030B-8q-H > -rw-r----- 1 Debian-exim Debian-exim 5267 Nov 7 22:02 1Xmqfs-0003ky-MA-D > -rw-r----- 1 Debian-exim Debian-exim 934 Nov 7 23:08 1Xmqfs-0003ky-MA-H > -rw-r----- 1 Debian-exim Debian-exim 9029 Nov 7 22:06 1Xmqjs-0005Es-1U-D Trying to fix this a few weeks ago, I stopped exim, then deleted all contents of /var/spool/exim4 and restarted it. But it seems it didn't help at all. Is this a known bug, limitation or am I doing something wrong? > Debian GNU/Linux 7.7 (wheezy) > ii exim4-base 4.80-7+deb7u1 amd64 > support files for all Exim MTA (v4) packages > ii exim4-config 4.80-7+deb7u1 all > configuration for the Exim MTA (v4) > ii exim4-daemon-light 4.80-7+deb7u1 amd64 > lightweight Exim MTA (v4) daemon Thanks for any help and happy new year!
