Have I just missed it in that huge manpage or does it actually not exist? I haven't tried it, but I would think that ls /var/spool/exim/msglog exim.log exim -Mrm exim.log would do the trick. The man page says that this option can take a number of message ID's, and that's where the messages are kept.

As root type mailq and you will be able to see a list of the messages which have been frozen. You can delete them from /var/spool/exim/input/ (there are two files for each message) and in /var/spool/exim/msglog/ you will find one system message for each mail which has been frozen. These can be removed as well. Sam -- (Sam Varghese) http://www.gnubies.com The dogs bark but the caravan passes. - ancient Arab proverb
