    Is it possible to get a total amount of emails in the queue from the command line rather then looking in WHM?

    ls -A /var/spool/mail | wc -l isnt very accurrate but it'd be nice if I could find out from a command line

    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

    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

    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?

    timeout_frozen_after = 7d

    Change that to 2 days

    timeout_frozen_after = 2d

    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.

    You can see it in WHM.
