Well, this happens to me fairly regularly. After a period of time, virus mails seems to accumulate. I have now over 400 mails in the queue, which is flagged as cancelled.
# mailq -sort|head Size Queue ID Date User From Status Recipient ---------------- --------------------------------------------------------- 30.8K 001504B3.4015E59B.000050EF Jan 27 13:14 courier [EMAIL PROTECTED] fail [EMAIL PROTECTED] # cancelmsg 001504B3.4015E59B.000050EF Message not found. I suppose this is what ricardo is finding. (By the way, this is a virus file, though it is cleaned.)
