hihi.

It's safer and easier to do the following:

/usr/sbin/exim -Mrm 15N0vD-0000r7-00

That'll drop the message from the queue without sending a bounce or notice
of any kind.  You can specify multiple message ids if you ever need to
clear a out bunch at once.

If you want to send a bounce back to the user who sent the email, do a -Mg
instead.
