Cleaning Exim Queue
Browsing system logs noticed that bots trying to send mass messages from the server.
Attempts obviously not successful, however, exim queue filled up with emails like 1eiI0H-000693-V0 Message is frozen.
Below a very simple way to clear the queue with the specified message.
We log in to our server, then issue the command:
1 | exim -bpu | grep frozen | awk {'print $3'} | xargs exim -Mrm |
Messages are deleted.
The log can be seen perfectly exim.
1 2 | cat /var/log/exim/main.log |
