Getting Queued mail

[66carolin]

Hi!
Why am I getting Queued mail for delivery" (mail queue manager) on sending emails. Can you explain?

[Carol.P]

Usually we get Queued mail for delivery" (mail queue manager) error because the mail has not yet been delivered to the recipient due to IP block or blacklisting of IP In this case you just need to remove the frozen mails using the command “” exim -bpr | grep frozen | awk {'print $3'} | xargs exim -Mrm “” and then forcefully deliver the mail from Mail >> Email >> Mail Queue Manager .

Thank you Carol for the information.

Additional to the above command I would like to share one more thing that

You can also check how many frozen mails are on your server by firing following command:

exim -bpr | grep frozen | wc -l

The output of above command will show you the number of frozen mail.
Then after that you can go ahead with the command above given by carol.

If suppose you want to delete particular mails from your server which is not needed for example if you want to delete mails which came through abc@example.com you can use the following command:

exiqgrep -i -f '<abc@example.com>' | xargs exim -Mrm

The above command will remove all the mails came from abc@example.com instantly
and will save your time because deleting it from your inbox will be taking a lot of time.
So these are some commands which are very useful for deleting unwanted as well as frozen mails.

Great work valentine It is very important to check the number of frozen mails before firing a command of removal.
