Hi all,
The problem I have found is that when mails (for some reason) don't get completely processed, they get stuck in the /var/spool/exim/input folder as FROZEN.
(And I also find a lot of messages in the /var/spool/exim/msglog folder, strangely enough!).
Due to the Dovecot set-up there are two exim-incoming folders and two processes. One does the reception from outside (/var/spool/exim.IN/) and the other the delivery on the server (/var/spool/exim/), if I understand correctly.
But the real problem (or hassle) is that I can't unfreeze the messages after they have been moved from the exim.IN to exim folder, using the
, because that command only looks in the incoming folder /var/spool/exim.IN/input
Is there any way to fix this? I never noticed mails being left (frozen) for days before, but maybe that is because they might get deleted after a few days?
The one option that I could get to work is to execute for each seperate message a
This way I copy them and unfreeze them before they are put back in the other exim folder unprocessed (because they are frozen).
This, obviously is hell and I don't have time to do this every day...
So... any ideas?
Thank you!
