RE: [Exim] (how does one ) remove items from the queue ?

Try this script.. It is pretty simple, but gets the job done.

-------------- clean_que.sh --------------------
#! /bin/sh
PATH=$PATH:/usr/exim/bin
export PATH
for msg in `mailq|awk '{print $3}'`
do
        echo "================================================="
        echo "Message ID: $msg"
        exim -Mvh $msg | grep "From:"
        exim -Mvh $msg | grep "To:"
        echo "================================================="
        echo -n "Delete this message ?"
        read ans
        if [ "$ans" = "Q" ] || [ "$ans" = "q" ]
        then
                exit
        fi

        if [ "$ans" = "Y" ] || [ "$ans" = "y" ]
        then
                exim -Mrm $msg
        else
                echo "Message $file has been skipped"
        fi
done
