You've only got the headers. Exim uses the -H file for the headers and administrivia and a -D file for holding the message body. Plus sometimes a -J file for journals. If you have both the -D and -H files, then loosely speaking, yes. The timestamp is embedded in the filename, so it's highly unlikely that the timestamp is still likely to be used for new messages by the time that a human in the loop gets around to restoring a file. I don't recall which order is best for restoring the two files. I suspect that -D followed by -H is least likely to cause issues, but I'm not willing to make that an absolute assertion and am currently enjoying just a little too much whiskey to go searching through the source code to verify for you. :) -Phil -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
