Re: [Mailman-Users] clear queue

2012-04-04 Thread Khalil Abbas
well actually the problem is that SMTP server was not accepting messages  
postfix crashed because there was a faulty db file, after fixing it, I 
noticed that an old feed is being dustributed by mailman and the new feeds 
are not.. I wanted to clear the mailman's queue to send the new feeds and 
found an 'out' directory and cleared all its contents which fixed the 
problem..

Why do you think you need to do this?  I'm asking because I saw your
followup to Mark saying you couldn't find any qfiles.  That might be
because there aren't any, and whatever it is you're actually seeing is
retries from the MTA.  Of course, if you're sure I'm wrong and Mark's
on the right track, just say so, no need for further explanation.

Try locating things like in, out, retry and virgin

Or ask whoever made the package you're using. See the FAQ at
http://wiki.list.org/x/OIDD.

Or, if this is RedHat/Centos, see the FAQ at
http://wiki.list.org/x/KYCB and look in /var/spool/mailman.

rm qfiles/queue_you_want_to_clear/*

or if you want to be more cautious

mv qfiles/queue_you_want_to_clear somewhere_else
