I have a "headless" machine here on my network (actually the one which provides the masquerading firewall etc)
if I log into it and run "sudo mailq" it lists hoardes of e-mails frozen!
The weird thing is that it is not a machine which is used for e-mail transfer!
I have tried going into /var/spool/exim/input and issuing rm *
this fixes the problem. A few days later...it is doing it all over
aggain!
They all look very similar here is some output from mailq:
