Hello. I tried searching the docs and the mailing list, unsuccessfully.
One of the accounts on a linux server I run was hacked, and the hacker has sent many and now queued several hundred thousand spam emails. The disk holding exim ... /var/spool/exim ... is 100 percent full. The exim and exiqgrep commands still function, but there are so many messages that any attempt to form a pipe exits in error. Since I don't seem able to delete all messages from that sender, I am ready to delete all messages in the queue (or queues if that is the case; I am new to this). I can delete and re-create the directories /var/spool/exim/input and /var/spool/exim/msglog but I don't know if there is anything needed inside those directories. Any suggestions by someone knowledgeable? Thank you.
