Mark, As far as I know, there are no SMSG SMTP ... - commands to delete an email from the queue. Depending on your SMTP configuration settings of RETRYAGE, you can specify how many days email will stay in queue until rejected as undeliverable. (The default is 3 days.) And RETRYINT specifies how often to retry sending queued mail ... every xxx minutes. See http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/F1A1B481/CONTENTS ?SHELF=&DT=20090202162722#32.46
If all else fails (really, do this only if it's turned into a three-alarm fire *): - Identify the message numbers of the emails you need to delete. - Stop SMTP - delete the offending SMTP.msgnumber.* files - Start SMTP *) Cycle SMTP only, if the number of valid emails queued waiting to be sent to valid destinations and already stored on disk is small. Don't do this if you have a large number of emails (> 100 or so) ... it may take a long time for SMTP to re-read and reprocess the ADDRBOOK files for each stored email during SMTP task startup. Problems will arise, if this process takes longer to complete than TCP/IP's AUTOLOG interval ... And if somebody else has a better idea, please speak up!

All the commands I find are query type commands, plus stop and start the server, but nothing on handling email already in queue. -- Mark Pace Mainline Information Systems 1700 Summit Lake Drive Tallahassee, FL. 32317 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
