Exim Queue Snippets

by damonp on June 28, 2007

These are all useful when trying to track down an open formmail script.

List bounce messages

exiqgrep -f '^<>$'

Freeze bounce messages

exiqgrep -i -f '^<>$' | xargs exim -Mf

Freeze messages from user@domain.com

exiqgrep -i -f user@domain.com| xargs exim -Mf

Find out what user your webserver runs as. Use this as the email address to key on. For example, my Apache runs as nobody so I want to freeze all messages sent from the user nobody@domain.com so I can look through them to see if I can deduce where the insecure formmail script is.

Delete frozen messages

exiqgrep -z -i | xargs exim -Mrm
