Subject: [DNG] frozen messages
I sent out a messge with mutt and exim. It froze because it may
have lacked my sender address. Since then I get a message every
minute like this:

  Fail Delivery S ( 5)      Message frozen


There is no indication of frozen mesasges in mail log. Resarting
exim, fetchmail and mutt had no effect

I try to remove frozen messages with

$ exim -bpr | grep frozen | awk {'print $3'} | xargs exim -Mrm
bash: exim: No such file or directory

# service exim4 restart
Stopping MTA for restart: exim4_listener.
Restarting MTA: exim4.

This has no effect. The exim -bpr command will not known

  $  ps aux | grep exim
