    I have a mail server running debian stable that has a ton of messages
    frozen in the mail queue. The following four references seem to indicate
    I should perhaps turn on the sender_verify and receiver_verify options.

    points 20 and 22 in /usr/share/doc/exim-tls/oview.txt.gz,
    http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2004/03/msg13134.html
    http://www.exim.org/pipermail/exim-users/Week-of-Mon-20040419/070054.html
    http://www.exim.org/pipermail/exim-users/Week-of-Mon-20040419/070061.html

    However, since this is a production machine serving an entire University
    Department I'm hesitant to make the changes without being really sure
    it's the right thing to do. Can anyone verify that this is the right
    path? Are there any dangers of lost emails or other user-perceivable
    differences I should be aware of? Once these options have been added,
    are there any suggestions on how best to go about clearing out the
    emails already frozen? (exim -Mrm <message id> ??)

    Thanks,
