I retreived some mail using fetchmail, which worked fine. At the time, I
used root to generate my /var/spool/mail/USER file. This caused some
120+ email to be bounced. I couldn't get any mail to my USER. These mail
got stuck in /var/spool/exim/input. I chown the USER file and I could get
mail. But I can't get them unstuck from this folder. The exim doc's don't
mention how to get them unstuck? Any suggestions?
If the mail IS set as frozen, the docs do tell how to do it:
CD to the /var/spool/exim/msglog directory (I believe that's the one), and
run exim -Mt *
That should thaw any message that's pending.
It's buried (as are billions of other useful gems that I haven't been able
to dig up yet) in the docs on the website that I found (
http://www.exim.org ). There is also a way to determine the status of
message, but I forget the command I'm afraid.
HTH.
