Subject: [exim] need help with store queued mails
Hi everyone,

I am using Cpanel with Exim/ Mailscanner, and with the recent updates EXIM was forced to use multiple directores under

/var/spool/exim_incoming/input. (I had to resort to setting NO to using of split directories because I can't send mails out of the server.)

In there you will see

root@argo1 [/var/spool/exim_incoming/input]# ls
./   1/                  2/  5/  8/  B/  E/  H/  K/  N/  Q/  T/  W/  Z/  c/  f/  i/  l/  o/  r/  u/  x/
../  1Bb42J-0001h3-0p-D  3/  6/  9/  C/  F/  I/  L/  O/  R/  U/  X/  a/  d/  g/  j/  m/  p/  s/  v/  y/
0/   1BfPks-0004EQ-ID-D  4/  7/  A/  D/  G/  J/  M/  P/  S/  V/  Y/  b/  e/  h/  k/  n/  q/  t/  w/  z/


I suspect there are old mail files which are still not send out.

For example inside 1 there are :

root@argo1 [/var/spool/exim_incoming/input]# ls 1
./ 1CQyu1-0002aT-6H-D 1CQzd1-00009I-VL-D 1CQzd1-0008Ty-6l-D 1CQzt1-0005dr-Dh-D
../ 1CQyu1-0002aT-6H-H 1CQzd1-00009I-VL-H 1CQzd1-0008Ty-6l-H 1CQzt1-0005dr-Dh-H

I have the following questions.
1. Can someone tell me how to send these mails out?
2. Is there a way to send them all out at once ? (exim -qff doesn't work)

I have tried the following : exim -C /etc/exim_outgoing.conf -t < message

but in the mail log it shows

2004-11-08 16:19:56 1CR4kj-0000vI-6K => patrick@??? <root@???> R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp H=mail.eon.com.sg [202.157.163.227]

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
