#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Queue Aging Configuration
#
# Why would you want to age your queues? On every queue-run interval,
# sendmail will try *every* file in the queue... If a site is down
# for a while, considerable time can be wasted each interval in retrying
# it. The scheme supported allows aging by time, and can move the older
# files to another (less frequently run queue), thereby reducing overal
# system impact - and providing better mail throughput.
#
# Note that this support is completely separate from QUEUE_MODE=cron,
# you can age queues even if you're running QUEUE_MODE=daemon.
#
# There are four parts to the queue aging support, and these parts
# may be repeated, to operate on multiple queues.
#
# 1. Interval at which to age the queues (in minutes).
# What interval should you use? Roughly twice the normal queue
# interval, so that messages are tried twice in each successively
# slower queue.
#
# 2. Criteria (optional and defaults to interval). This is the
# specification of which files to move. It defaults moving
# files whose age in the queues exceeds the interval.
# This field, if specified can be very complex - supporting
# aging by just about anything! see qtool(8) for details.
#
# 3. To queue. This is the queue to which files will be moved.
# It may be fully qualified, or relative to /var/spool/mqueue.
#
# 4. From queue. This is the queue from which files will be moved.
# It may be fully qualified, or relative to /var/spool/mqueue.
#
# Samples:
# AGE_DATA="[['25m', '', 'hourly', 'main']]";
# Every 25 minutes, move any file older than 25 minutes from
# /var/spool/mqueue/main to /var/spool/mqueue/hourly
#
# AGE_DATA="[['25m', '', 'hourly', 'main'],\
# ['125', '', 'daily', 'hourly']]";
# Same as the above, but also move files from the hourly queue
# to the daily queue after 125 minutes in the hourly queue.
#
# AGE_DATA="[['25m',\
# '-e \'$msg{message}[0] == /Deferred: 452 4.2.2 Over quota/\'',\
# 'overquota', 'main']]";
# Every 25 minutes, move all files deferred because of quota
# violations from /var/spool/mqueue/main to
# /var/spool/mqueue/overquota where they can be processed on
# a different interval, or by some other means.
#
# If the above samples suggest Perl arrays, well, they are...
#
# AGE_DATA=""; Perl array Queue aging data
