How to handle exim frozen messages?

2000-10-01 Thread Shaul Karl
Due to the problems that were seen in the last few days with unstable I have 
lots of messages in /var/spool/exim/input. I believe all those messages are 
seen in /var/log/exim/mainlog as frozen. My question is how to handle it? 
Is there a command line to instruct exim to try and send them again? Perhaps 
some cron job or maybe exim itself will try to handle it for me?

Thank you.

/usr/sbin/exim -qff 

This will force the delivery of frozen messages.

I generally try:

exim -qff

From the exim manpage:

-qff   This option operates like -qf and may  appear  with
  or without a following time. The difference is that
  any frozen messages are automatically  thawed,  and
  delivery is attempted for them.

Hope that helps.
