Betreff: [Exim] Flushing the queue
Hi all ;-)

We are moving a server to a new location.

Thus we want to make sure that all mails in the queue are sent/delivered. I read the manual and came to the opinion, that an 'exim -q' should do this, but I want to be sure.

So here is what will happen:

1. exim is started by 'exim -bd'.
2. we do 'exim -q' and wait for exim flushing (i. e. sending and devliering all mails in the queue).
3. we power-off the system.

Would this be alright or am I missing something?

Regards, Sascha
