Re: Frozen message in exim



Depending on how exim is set up, you may be able to view the message
header and body (as separate files) in /var/spool/exim/input. If ther are
a large number of directories (0-9, a-b, A-Z) then the message and header
will be in the directory with the same letter as the last letter in the
first block of characters in the message id (13kqJX in this case).
                                                  ^

Normally exim -Mrm will delete messages still in the queue. But there are
times when it won't. In that case I go to the /var/spool/input directory
and delete the header and the message. Not sure if there is another way
but I looked and couldn't find it.
