UNFREEZEMAIL(8) Local UNFREEZEMAIL(8) NAME unfreezemail - move a message from the Smail error queue back to the input queue SYNOPSIS unfreezemail [-D [-f]] [-i] [-n] [-m] [-v N] [-u addr | message- queue-id ... ] DESCRIPTION Unfreezemail safely reprocesses the specified error queue files, i.e. those displayed by ``mailq -E''. This script can be used to retry mes- sages that were frozen in the error queue by smail during the time when a configuration error existed, for example. Note that if the message is already a bounce message (i.e. is from ``<>'' or ``<+>''), or if the error which caused the message to be frozen in the first place has not yet been repaired, then another fail- ure to deliver the bounce will simply move it back into the error queue immediately. If the message is truly unimportant then you can use the -D option to delete the re-frozen message. WARNING: Unfreezemail will cause the message delivery to be re-at- tempted to all recipient addresses which had previously failed. If this is not intended then the message and/or its corresponding log file will have to be manually edited and moved. OPTIONS -D Delete the frozen message instead of re-queueing it. -f Force the deletion. By default each file must be confirmed be- fore it is deleted. -i Confirm each re-delivery attempt interactively. -m Call mailq before re-attempting delivery. -n Do not immediately start a runq process to re-attempt delivery. -u addr Unfreeze all of the messages with a matching recipient address. -v N Tell the runq to be verbose when re-processing the message file.
