# mailq
You'll see a lot of messages with ***frozen*** there.
Now, when you have finished mounting every filesystem, permissions are ok,
etc - just run exim -qff -v >& /tmp/ex.log& - and keep a tail -f of the
ex.log file. Start multiple exim -qff -v processes if there's too much mail
in the queue (though as the delivery is likely to be local it'll be rapid)
