One of our client got a spam message in queue and almost 14mil of message in queue has been generated by the culprit. The exim itself generated a log file message which do a lot of write process to the log file. Because of that, the server inodes also got exhausted. Really need some cleanup for them :) I've tried to remove the frozen mail queue using several method, and the best command is : exim -bp|grep frozen|awk '{print $3}' |xargs exim -Mrm Other command that you can try : xiqgrep -zi|xargs exim -Mrm exim -bp | awk '/^ *[0-9]+[mhd]/{print "exim -Mrm " $3}' | bash exim -bp | exiqgrep -i | xargs exim -Mrm good luck!
