to check the mail queue:

# exim4 -bpc

<output is number of messages currently queued>

to take a gander at the queue:

# exim4 -bp

<output is something like three or four lines per item on the queue,
including the time-in-queue, destination addresses, sender address, and
so on.  if the phrase "** frozen **" appears for a message, then it is
frozen, which means exim4 encountered an error condition that would
seem to indicate that exim shouldn't bother to try to deliver that
message any more.>

Frozen messages get cleaned off the queue every night, I believe.  If a
message gets cleaned off the queue (so the queue doesn't get
unmanageably large), a record of that is made in the log
file /var/log/onstor/exim-cleaning.log.

The script that does the cleaning is

/etc/cron.daily/exim4-rm-frozen


I don't know if those packages made it into sub9, but they should
definitely be in sub10.  Or, intrepid users can install the packages
directly on their system:

# /etc/init.d/exim4 stop
# dpkg -i $PERFORCE/dev/linux/Pkgs/binary/Deb/exim4-config_4.63-17_all.deb
# dpkg -i $PERFORCE/dev/linux/Pkgs/binary/Deb/exim4-base_4.63-17_mipsel.deb
# dpkg -i $PERFORCE/dev/linux/Pkgs/binary/Deb/exim4-daemon-custom_4.63-17_mipsel.deb

Figuring out how to get packages accessible to a filer is left as
an exercise to the reader ~:^)  Hint: use NFS.
