Hi, I did read a few threads on bounce email and it seems to be affecting my server too.. I'm seeing gradual increase in exim que.. currently it is at 600+ emails.. I used ConfigServer Mail Queues to check it shows some thing like this(of course few hundred).. 1VMfFQ-0002lJ-7K 24h 9.8K [bounce] x93d@turktelekom.com.tr 1VMfFQ-0002lT-BK 24h 9.8K [bounce] x2b713@ttnet.com.tr 1VMfGQ-0002nm-4H 24h 106K [bounce] xteam@virginmedia.com 1VMfI0-0002qO-C7 24h 106K [bounce] xteam@virginmedia.com 1VMfJR-0002rz-Q5 24h 106K [bounce] xteam@virginmedia.com
I opened one of the mail and here is the header.. 1VMfFQ-0002lJ-7K-H mailnull 47 12 <> 1379601024 0 -ident mailnull -received_protocol local -body_linecount 208 -max_received_linelength 99 -allow_unqualified_recipient -allow_unqualified_sender -frozen 1379601029 -localerror XX 1 x93d@turktelekom.com.tr 162P Received: from mailnull by my.host.net with local (Exim 4.80.1) id 1VMfFQ-0002lJ-7K for Riddle93d@turktelekom.com.tr; Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:30:24 +0000 052 X-Failed-Recipients: bkapferc@my.host.net 029 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied 065F From: Mail Delivery System 033T To: x93d@turktelekom.com.tr 059 Subject: Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender 054I Message-Id: 038 Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:30:24 +0000

  I'm already using ConfigServer Mail Queues to view and deleting bounce emails. But, how to solve this issue? The mail que starts to fill with bounce emails again in a few hours. pl help.

  Check with the Spam origin. Suspect there should be spam sent previously from the server. Now you shoule be receiving more bounce backs. You can identify those as the frozen mails in the exim mail queue. Can you try # exim -bpr | grep frozen | wc -l Can you post the output here ?
