spec.txt: If a failure report (either locally generated or received from a remote host) itself suffers a delivery failure, the message is left on the queue, but is 'frozen', awaiting the attention of an administrator. There are options which can be used to make Exim discard such failure reports, or to keep them for only a short time. > and is there a way to force sending of the messages? spec.txt: There is also an auto_thaw option, which can be used to cause Exim to retry frozen messages after a certain time. When this is set, no message will remain on the queue for ever, because the delivery timeout will eventually be reached. Delivery failure reports that reach this timeout are discarded.
