Actually, my problem is that this method is not working. If I use the cancelmsg command to cancel the message, Courier sends a cancellation notice to postmaster. When this notice is forwarded to my account on Exchange, it is rejected and becomes stuck in the queue. When I try to cancel that message, the same routine is repeated. So the cancelmsg command just replaces one stuck message with another one. The question remains. How can I get rid of this message? I think something got corrupted during a recent server crash. I am probably going to have to track down the queue files and delete the message manually. How do I do this?
