Hello list,
I'm hoping for a little advice on locating a couple of messages which
won't deliver and removing them. I've had a look at the utilities but
can't find one which will locate the message.
The messages are most likely spam which have failed to relay through
exim. I just want to remove them from the queue. Here is info from the
logs on the messages:
exim mainlog/rejectlog (same messages in each log)

I'm running two exim processes, an input and an output queue:
[root@circle 11:26:03 log]$ exiwhat
7933 daemon: no queue runs, listening for SMTP
7935 daemon: -q15m, not listening
I've tried exim_tidydb:
[root@circle 14:27:36 ~]$ exim_tidydb /var/spool/exim wait-remote_smtp
Tidying Exim hints database /var/spool/exim/db/wait-remote_smtp
Tidying complete

Anyone know the incantation to find my stray spam??
regards,
Seb James
