I need some help with exim. Just for the heck of it, I shifted to Debian and am running a mix of testing/unstable. And I haven't broken anything major, and yes apt is great but this mail is not about apt.
I would like to start using exim as the mta as that seems to be the default (I know I can install postfix - but I want to get exim working now). I am on cable with a nigtbird plan. My webhost supports pop-before-smtp.
I had configured exim at install time and had chosen the config to work with a smarthost. Now when I send a mail from mutt, I can't see anything with the mailq command. The machine was offline at that time so the mail could not have gone and has to be in the queue.
I know that exim -q or -qf will send the queued mails, but I can't see the queued mails.
I went thru the debian reference and the exim faq but could not get any help.
I have used sendmail w/ rh 7.3 and postfix w/ rh9. What are the equivalent commands to
1. mailq 2. delete a mail in the queue 3. edit a mail in the queue (an do it w/ sendmail but not w/ postfix)
thanks,
Sharukh.
I have used sendmail w/ rh 7.3 and postfix w/ rh9. What are the equivalent commands to
- mailq
exim -bp
- delete a mail in the queue
Note: <messageID> (unique identifier) is to be looked up and substituted from the above command output.
exim -Mrm <messageID> Remove/delete message from queue (no errors sent)
OR
exim -Mg <messageID> Give up and fail message, message bounces to sender
- edit a mail in the queue (an do it w/ sendmail but not w/ postfix)
AFAIK, it's not possible with exim.
