Okay, I managed to hose exim an hour ago. I have the exim binary
symbolically linked from /usr/sbin/sendmail on my Mac OSX Server
machine.

I believe I hosed things by sending something via the sendmail -t (or
exim -t) command. I was trying to re-send an email from the command
line.

When I try to fly exim, I get a these types of errors:

/usr/sbin/sendmail: parse error near `\n' [2]
/usr/sbin/sendmail: command not found: Envelope-to: [2]
/usr/sbin/sendmail: command not found: Delivery-date: [3]

REFINANCE,SAVE_MONEY,SAVE_ON_INSURANCE,SPAM_PHRASE_02_03, [23]
/usr/sbin/sendmail: command not found: WEB_BUGS [24]

exim is trying to parse the email that I sent it with sendmail -t (exim
-t) as commands. What I can't figure out is where this stuff is being
stored. I just want to delete what I tried to do, so that exim can run
again. I can't find this stuff under /var/spool/exim anywhere.

Can anyone tell me where the problem commands that I previously sent to
exim are being buffered so I can delete them?

Thanks!
