Hmm thanks for all the tips, I still have a problem though. If I do

/usr/local/exim/bin/exim -Mrm 1COYKP-0003xo-Bj

I get

Spool data file for 1COYKP-0003xo-Bj does not exist
Continuing, to ensure all files removed
Spool read error for 1COYKP-0003xo-Bj-H: No such file or directory
Continuing to ensure all files removed
Message 1COYKP-0003xo-Bj has been removed or did not exist

but if I do

ls /usr/local/exim/spool/input/P/

I get

rw-r----- 1 exim nobody 2914 Nov 1 09:18 1COYKP-0003xo-Bj-D
-rw-r----- 1 exim nobody 1167 Nov 1 09:18 1COYKP-0003xo-Bj-H

So it clearly does exist, but it is not being deleted. Yes I AM root.

Any thoughts

Ron
