hi there allan,

to delete queued emails, first identify which email you want to delete.
use the mailq command and take note of the queue file id of the email to be 
deleted.  mailq returns something like:

F193B3401A   133244 Mon Jun  3 10:03:24  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
                (Name service error for webrep.net: Host not found, try again)
                                         [EMAIL PROTECTED]

... where F193B3401A is the queue file id

now depending on the version of postfix you have, you may use the postsuper 
command like:

postsuper -d F193B3401A

let's say you want to delete all queued emails from [EMAIL PROTECTED]

for a in `mailq|grep ^[0-Z]|grep "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"|cut -d" " -f1`; do 
postsuper -d $a; done

if "postsuper -d" doesn't work, you may have an older version of postfix, in 
which case you can use:

rm -f `find /var/spool/postfix/deferred -name F193B3401A`

please take note of the warnings in:
http://www.postfix.org/postsuper.1.html

for more info,
man mailq
man postsuper

for your other problem, mailman should send a daily digest to subscribers who 
opted for digest mode.  maybe your subscribers have the 'nomail' option 
checked as well?  you may also check mailman's logs for clues.

hth,
-eric
