As you may have seen my other posts, there is some problem with these messages. It has been 5 days and mailq still reports them as being in the queue, while at the same time cancelmsg reports the message as "not found". > > > How can I fix this? > > Find the real reason why your mail is being processed so slowly. The problem is that the "offending" messages are a result of a badly configured aliases file. So every single one of these messages are returning a "450 Service temporarily unavailable." error. And maillog repeatedly shows this error. But this all loops back to my initial confusion. I originally issued a cancelmsg command to every one of these roughly 10,000 messages in the hopes of "clearing up" this problem. But these messages refuse to be removed from mailq, and seem to be repeatedly retried at the appropriate retry schedule. So how can I clear up this problem? They will continue to generate the "450 Service temporarily unavailable." error, and continue to be deferred. I have my queuetime set to only 12h, but I guess that doesn't matter? Any help is appreciated!
