Hi, Thank you for the suggestion.
However, yes, I have run "courier flush", many times. I have stopped and restarted courier many times, and often tried to flush. These messages, that were supposedly canceled, are still there after 5 days... :-( I have heard from another member on the list that he's had similar problems, of messages canceled not being removed from the queue. A couple of days ago I went through a process where I canceled about 100,000 messages from my queue, and most of them did eventually disappear. The 10,000 or so that are still left are undeliverable messages because I made a mistake in my aliases file. However, the problem is that mailq still shows them as being in the queue, and cancelmsg says the message doesn't exist. There's a definite discrepancy which has not been resolved after a number of days. Any suggestions out there? What additional information can I provide to the list?
