Exim

copy all mails

Make a file called exim.filter in the /etc/exim directory with the following line:
unseen deliver <email adress of the admin>

and in the main part of the exim.conf
system_filter = /etc/exim/exim.filter
system_filter_user = exim

THE file /etc/exim/exim.filter has to be owned by exim.
ALL email that comes in and out comes with a copy to the admin.

To print a list of the messages in the queue, enter:

exim -bp

To remove a message from the queue, enter:

exim -Mrm {message-id}

To remove all messages from the queue, enter:

exim -bp | awk '/^ *[0-9]+[mhd]/{print "exim -Mrm " $3}' | bash

Remove frozen mails

exim -bp|grep frozen|awk '{print $3}' |xargs exim -Mrm
