Mail Queue Count

the way that i used:

use:

Code:

ls -l /var/spool/exim/input | wc -l

devide the result by 2

 

try

exim -bpc

Anup

 

There is a big difference between the 2 commands...

Code:

ls -l /var/spool/exim/input | wc -l 

returns: 4776

Code:

exim -bpc 

returns: 1651


.

 

And what's the figure shown by WHM Mail Que?

Anup

 

Great question Current returns are as follows...

Code:

ls -l /var/spool/exim/input | wc -l 

returns: 1997

Code:

exim -bpc 

returns: 236

WHM Queue returns: 236

.

 

Results self explanatory

Yeppers! The figures don't lie :D

 

Or perhaps you could try following for a clearer view

exim -bp | exiqsumm

Great, and useful stuff to know!

Thanks!

Any clue what the best way would be to dump all queued mail older than a number of days such as 2 days?

 

Yup could try by putting that in top box of WHM Exim Configuration editor as if you edit exim.conf from ssh, it would get overwritten in next exim update

Though I appreciate the edit, what I need is just a command to run if I happen to run across a server that has lots of old (beyond the number of days set for timeout) mail queued up.
I was contracted to do some clean up work on a server for someone recently and found mail queued that was 89+ days old. And a total of about 12000 emails that were older than 4 days.
Had to dump the entire queue as I could not find a way to delete all old stuff and leave current.

 

Hello all,

I need to know how many mails are sent per hour via PHP script

Is any command to make a emails sent count?

Thanks in advance.-

 

You can see it in WHM.
