Hello,

I am trying to troubleshoot a sending issue on my server.  I have a few hundred messages that are stuck in the /var/spool/exim/input queue.  Can I shutdown the exim server process and move those files to another location and then move them back if that doesn't resolve the issue?  Here are the exact steps I plan to follow:

1. Shutdown Exim
2. Move all messages in /var/spool/exim/input to a backup location
3. Start Exim server
4. Send a few test messages to see if my sending issue is corrected
5. Shutdown Exim
6. Move the messages back into the /var/spool/exim/input folder a few
   at a time
7. Start Exim server
8. Manually force a queue run

My goal is retain the queued messages and not force my users resend the messages that are hung in the queue presently.  My suspicion is that I have a malformed message in the queue that is causing the other messages to hang up.

Thanks for the help,

-Patrick
