    Hi
    Since last week seems that mail queue isn't deleting older messages. We have our exim configured to delete messages older than 4 days, as default: F,2h,15m; G,16h,1h,1.5; F,4d,8h, but know we have messages with 7 and 8 days in queue.
    We have checket at exim_mainlog and the messages are trying to be delivered so we figure mail queue is working fine.

    If you changed the maximum days to 4 recently, you may need to restart exim for the change to take effect.

    What are your settings for ignore_bounce_errors_after and timeout_frozen_after?

    Doesnt matter what its set to in exim.conf.

    We have;

    timeout_frozen_after = 2d
    ignore_bounce_errors_after = 12h
    auto_thaw = 3h

    And none of this works.

    Now it's deleting the older mails

    Thanks for the posts,
    We notice that newer messages (with 4 days) are being delete, so decide to manually delete the older ones (those with 7 and 8 days).
    We have the default settings, and never changed.

    I had mine set to delete after 2 days and noticed it's keeping them on for the full 8 days now. Must have been a change in the exim configs...

    I use this code in the RETRY configuration box.
    * refused F,2h,15m; G,16h,1h,1.5; F,36h,8h
    * * F,2h,15m; G,16h,1h,1.5; F,2d,8h
    Used to clear the queue after 2 days and doesn't work anymore.
