How to freeze queue for new messages in Exim?

Question

linux

Good day to all.
It is possible to freeze messages in the queue exipick -i | xargs exim -Mf, but how to stop the processing of the queue so that new letters are not sent, but hang in the queue?

Answer 1

From the command line, it seems to be in any way. You need to edit the config. Look for the ACL that new messages satisfy, and enter the line "control = freeze/no_tell" there so that they are created immediately in the freeze status.
