[CLUE-Tech] Frozen Messages In Exim, No Local User

[Timothy C. Klein]

I was dinking around on my machine tonight, and happened to look in my
Exim spool directory.   There were many, many frozen messages therein.
I started looking at what they were, and they are all to a non-existent
user.

It turns out I needed to access something a long time ago that needed an
email response from me.  I recognized that it was a spam-trap, but I
need to do it (I don't even remember why).  So I created a temporary
user, got the email confirm out of the way, and then deleted the user.

Well, I now have hundreds of spam emails sitting on my machine.  Exim is
dutifully trying to be a good netizen, and notify the mailers of this
spam that the user they tried to spam does not exist.  Of course, their
machines are not responding.  So I have spams sitting there, frozen,
some for many months, waiting.

Is there a way to tell Exim to just give up on the notification step,
and delete the messages?  I can't seem to find anything in the man page.
And my exim book is packed away somewhere.

TIA,
Tim
