Rantings of a Road Warrior

Here is a lit­tle com­mand, if you have loads of emails stuck in exim queue and you want to delete ALL the emails, here is a lit­tle com­mand to do that

mailq |awk '{print "exim -Mrm " $3}'|sh

Be care­ful when using it, like I said, it will delete all emails wait­ing to be deliv­ered by exim.

I used it to clear a queue from loads of spam and viruses after a machine got infected and sent 160k emails in 2hours
