I was just doing that very thing about an hour ago, but I didn't want
to just blindly throw out anything that's frozen, so I got to sit
there iterating through
exim -Mvb MSG_ID | head
exim -Mrm MSG_ID
and I got to wondering whether there was an existing (probably either
curses- or X-based) tool for speeding this process up. Basically
something like a standard mail client, but manipulating the exim
queue instead of a spool file. It should probably also, by default,
show only the headers and any messages added by the MTA itself (no
need to intrude on the users' privacy, after all).
Is anything like that already out there? If not, and if I were to
create something of the sort, are there any suggested modifications
to the features/functionality I described?
