Purge frozen messages in Exim

 # exipick -zi | xargs exim -Mrm

The above command will delete all the frozen message in exim mail server. This command will be very much helpful when your exim mail server is frozen by mails.

Delete frozen mails

 for i in `mailq | awk '$6 ~ /^frozen$/ {print $3}'`; 
 do exim -Mrm $i; 
 done

Although Exim will purge frozen (undeliverable) messages over time, the command "exim -Mrm #id#" where #id# is a particular message ID will purge a message immediately. I don't want to type the command for each frozen message, so I wrote the one-liner to do it for me.
