I can adjust the filters so that sender's messages will pass in the future. Sometimes, it would be really convenient to be able to get exim to re-try delivery of that saved message after the filters have been adjusted. My search-fu seems to be weak today; I have not found a description of how to do this yet. Any suggestions? (exim4 4.96 running on Debian 12.4)


I have similar concept of "quarantine" or "spam archive", where
are mails stored by exim's appendfile transport (separate files,
not maildir). From time to time i need resend message (~ once
per year), and then i simple send it via nonTCP SMTP with little
modification.

The little modification of message is needed to switch it to SMTP
form, for that i have all needed info in it (as for MAIL FROM and
RCPT TO), and add DATA, final dot & QUIT commands, but as it
is really rare, i do not care and i do it manually.

If it will happen more often, one can store them bsmtp form
directly (but i never tried)... IIRC, the message has then extra
Received: header, but i it is no problem here...
