Utility for one-time down/upgrade of Exim message-id formats in spool files. Only the filenames and first-line ID tag values are affected; not message content such as Message-ID fields. Only -H, -D and -J files are handled. Usage: exim_id_update [-d | -u | -h | -v] [spooldir] -d --downgrade downgrade mode -h --help help message -u --upgrade upgrade mode -v --version show version and exit cleanly --verbose more output about what's going on --force force overwriting (may be required after failure) --dry dry run (do file operations, but cleanup and keep the old files) Exactly one of -d|--downgrade or -u|--upgrade must be given. The spool directory defaults to the build-time value, or can be given as a command-line argument.
