    So I changed these options in the Exim Configuration Editor so my mail queues are more agressive at deleting unreachable mailhosts.

    I am overriding the following values
    Code:
    auto_thaw = 1h
ignore_bounce_errors_after = 1h
timeout_frozen_after = 2h
    Yet, when I look at my mail queue, i see a few frozen/stuck emails that have been there for over 14 hours. Any ideas on what I did wrong?

    I have the same problem;

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

    And this does not work. Nothing is auto thawed after 3hrs not to mention the other 2 that dont work.

    Go on, have a guess
    That's an extremely bad idea. So long as you're happy that some email will never get delivered, then go ahead, but otherwise there should be no reason to mess around with the standard queue parameters if you have your email setup correctly (i.e. don't accept email for mailboxes over their quota, don't use catchall aliases, and never use :blackhole:).

    True, but the problem still remains.

    I wish the forums below in the link were still active....its dead..nobody posts there. This guy wrote up a really nice tutorial on the exim config.
