What exactly is your question?
Can't you delete them via the mail queue manager from Directadmin?
 
You mean it's not deleting?

Ok you can try this script. It's not 100% working for all commands, but the option to delete the sender works fine. I've also got this from somebody else. But with these kind of files it sometimes works better.

Create a file called empty-exim.sh or something and chmod to 755.
Code: 
#!/bin/sh
if [ $1 ]; then
echo "`exim -bpru | tr '\n' + | sed -e "s/++/=/g" | tr -d + | tr = '\n' | grep "$1" | awk {'print $3'} | xargs exim -Mrm | wc -l` E-Mails deleted"
else
echo "If you want to delete ALL the `exim -bpc` E-Mails on mail queue, give this command:"
echo "exim -bp|grep "<"|awk {'print $3'}|xargs exim -Mrm"
echo "or even better"
echo "exim -bp | awk '/^ *[0-9]+[mhd]/{print "exim -Mrm " $3}' | bash"
echo ""
echo "If you want to delete only mails with an specific sender/recipient, use:"
echo "$0 [sender/recipient]"
fi

So if you have a mail from foobar.com then use like this:
./emtpy-exim.sh foobar.com
and mails should be deleted.
 
If you're using mailscanner, check this thread:

Solved - URGENT "spool file exim not found"

Hello I use MailScanner to scan my messages. Today I updated Exim and everything went more or less smoothly. Since then I've had this message: 2023-11-23 21:16:18 1r6G7R-0000000H80h-3dZI Spool file 1r6G7R-0000000H80h-3dZI-D not found I did this via @Richard G's topic Link But nothing happens...
