If you know the message IDs of the messages, you can use exim -q start-message-id end-message-id And as they are all going to the same smarthost, you should probably use -qq. You can find the relevant message IDs by processing the output of exim -bp or ls-ing Exim's spool file. However, I agree with Tony that overall rate limiting is a neater way to go. -- Philip Hazel University of Cambridge Computing Service Get the Exim 4 book: http://www.uit.co.uk/exim-book -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
