I have a need to clean up the retry queue.. when I start exim or view the queue we have hundreds
of messages in there that just seem to sit for weeks. I'd like to manually get rid of them just
for cleanliness' sake.

However what I would really like is to see the mails first; they're all incoming and waiting for
DNS/smtp verification or some other stalled check. Just the

Something like this. Is there an option I can pass to exim or some other program to get more
data on these frozen or retrying messages?

Then.. once I have that data and am comfortable nuking a message (or all of them) what exactly
is the command for it? I read through the manual for an hour and it isn't very "instructive"
even if it is informative as to queue options and handling.. I'd really just rather be told what
the exact specific option is and what it needs to be paired with :D
