But, if you are running sendmail on RH Linux, you can look at your queue by
typing in:
/usr/sbin/sendmail -bp
Here's an example of the output:
NAA20852 2235 Fri Dec 14 13:14 MAILER-DAEMON
(Deferred: Connection refused by prophet.qa.haht.com.)
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
NAA21610 16176 Fri Dec 14 13:26 MAILER-DAEMON
(Deferred: Connection refused by maillist.newsfactor.com.)
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Deleting is fairly easy, but really you should know what you are doing
first...
For Sendmail the queue directory (in RH Linux) is
/var/spool/mqueue/...
Looking at the directory, you will see a bunch of file that start with:
df..., qf..., or xf...
After that the file name contains a combination of 3 letters and 5 numbers.
This second part matches the output you got from the "sendmail -bp" command.
Here is an example:
dfNAA20852 dfNAA21610 qfNAA20852 qfNAA21610
===
If you wanted to delete the Message NAA20852 (to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]) you would move to the queue directory and:
rm ??NAA20852
Boom! The message is now gone from your queue.
Please note, that if you are going to be playing with your queued up
messages, you should STOP SENDMAIL first:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail stop
Take care and good luck!
