Hello,
I am trying to troubleshoot a sending issue on my server. I have a few
hundred messages that are stuck in the /var/spool/exim/input queue. Can
I shutdown the exim server process and move those files to another
location and then move them back if that doesn't resolve the issue?
Here are the exact steps I plan to follow:
1. Shutdown Exim
2. Move all messages in /var/spool/exim/input to a backup location
3. Start Exim server
4. Send a few test messages to see if my sending issue is corrected
5. Shutdown Exim
6. Move the messages back into the /var/spool/exim/input folder a few
at a time
7. Start Exim server
8. Manually force a queue run
My goal is retain the queued messages and not force my users resend the
messages that are hung in the queue presently. My suspicion is that I
have a malformed message in the queue that is causing the other messages
to hang up.
Thanks for the help,
-Patrick
