exipick is the tool of choice here, coupled with the exim binary itself
and a bit of creative plumbing in your shell of choice.

"exipick -z" extracts a list of frozen messages.
"exipick -z -i" extracts the queue ID of frozen messages.

For a long list of frozen messages where you want to see the body, use:

for x in `exipick -z -i`; do echo $x; exim -Mvb $x; done

You may want to put a pager in there somewhere - either pipe "exim -Mvb
$x" through a pager, or pipe the whole output through after the "done".

When you say you want to "know the IP address", what do you mean? The
one the message arrived from?
