Re: frozen Exim message

[Paul Yeatman <pyeatman@ucsd.edu>]

Thanks Mathew, David and Steve for all the good help.  It gets me going
in the right direction.  I've stared at the exim man page, etc. like a
deer in the headlights.  This gives me a starting point.

I'm curious about Ronny's question, however.  I suppose the problem is
that screwed up messages created from spam and viruses can't really be
distinguished from ones that are legit but had a delivery failure for
whatever reason (wrong mail setup, server down, etc.).  Although,
once a message is frozen for more than 5 days, what's the chances it
is legit?

I'm also curious why some mail gets frozen instead of returned.  For
instance, my machine now has a frozen message on it that was sent from
the postmaster of another machine.  This email is returning a
contaminated message "from" a bogus user on my machine with the info
that the original message contained a virus.  Why didn't the Exim on my
machine return the message to the postmaster with "no such user"?

Paul
