Mail Queue Administration / change email address

[xerox]

Hello,

I would like to fix the email address, what is already sent.

I am wondering is it possible somehow to change the mail queue email recipient address when the mail is already in queue?


Thanks.

Exim allows to do a certain degree to manipulate messages in the queue. It doesn't look like there are any options to change a recipient, but you might get the result you want with a combination of exim -Mar (add recipient) and exim -Mmd (mark delivered). Check the man page for details on how to use these options.

Thanks for the info.

Could we do some automatic redirections when a recipient domain name is typed in wrong by mistake e.g. @gmail.rr or gmail.xx that this will be redirected to @gmail.com instead?

That sounds like something you really shouldn't do. What happens when someone actually wants to send an email to @gmail.rr? If people can't type in the correct email address, the email will bounce.
