I usually can find a few messages per day on a server so if you need me to test
a patch, please let me know.
Useful to know. I assume that since you're running
with those patches, the periodic daemon restart wworkaround
has no effect? How long has the daemon been up for?
No restarting the daemon doesn’t do anything. The only solution which works is
to kill all exim processes and then restart the daemon.
exim will run through the queue and try again. The same messages which caused
the delivery process to be stuck will again cause a stuck process. Once the
retry rules have been exhausted (5 days) the message will be removed from the
queue after a new restart and killing all exim processes. Otherwise those
messages will just stick around. I had some which were in the queue for 20+
days until I noticed that issue.
FWIW, reading through the patches Jeremy thought might not yet be
applied for the FreeBSD exim version we are using, I think he did not
suggest that restarting would 'fix' messages already stuck.
Rather, if the issue were related to the patches / issues he mentioned,
restarting the daemon might prevent messages from getting stuck in the
first place.
Best,
Martin
