Dear Exim4 folks,
wanting to display the message from the mail queue the following does
not work.
$ sudo exim4 -Mvc 1QjmYH-0003xy-Tj # probably a spam message since no sender is set
Received: from [203.209.105.5] (helo=203.209.105.5)
by mail.gw90.de with smtp (Exim 4.69)
id 1QjmYH-0003xy-Tj
for judo1 at gw90.de; Thu, 21 Jul 2011 06:16:06 +0000
Reading the manual page (`man exim4`), I thought this should be the
correct way.
-Mvb <message id>
This option causes the contents of the message body (-D) spool file to be written to the standard output. This option can be used only
by an admin user.
-Mvc <message id>
This option causes a copy of the complete message (header lines plus body) to be written to the standard output in RFC 2822 format. This
option can be used only by an admin user.
-Mvh <message id>
This option causes the contents of the message headers (-H) spool file to be written to the standard output. This option can be used
only by an admin user.
-Mvl <message id>
This option causes the contents of the message log spool file to be written to the standard output. This option can be used only by an
admin user.
Using `-Mvh` or `-Mvb` the header or body is also not displayed.
The system is running Debian Lenny, i. e. `exim4 4.69-9+lenny4`. The
manual page in Debian Sid/unstable has the same descriptions for the
options.
Unfortunately most message in my queue are probably corrupt, that is
they do not have a sender field, and all correct ones have been
delivered already. So I cannot test if this only happens with these
corrupt messages.
Thanks,
Paul
