Huh? It sounds like you're saying that the "delete failed messages" time is from when they initially enter the queue, not from when the message is actually marked as failed. My experience is it's the latter. When I was using SIMS, my settings were 1 day / 30 minutes / 200 times and it always worked as I expected (tried for approximately 4 days, deleted one day after the 200th unsuccessful attempt). But I did see occasional situations where the attempt counter was not incrementing. IIRC, it had to do with certain DNS failures. -- Larry Stone [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.stonejongleux.com/ ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
