For the curious, I got an answer from Petr Novotny, to my question about
removing queued messages. First he said there is no such command. Then,
the rest of his message showed me how.
1. I used qmail-qread to find out what's in the queue, and made note
of the message ID #s.
2. touch -t 010100001970 -c `find /var/qmail/queue -name "<message ID #>" -print`
3. killall -ALRM qmail-send
All messages bounced back to me, as undeliverable.
I should point out that Petr made it VERY clear that I should stop
qmail-send first. But one needs a little risk in their life, so I
decided to attempt the above without stopping it. Besides, I was just
changing timestamps, not the files themselves. Maybe someone who knows
the internals of qmail-send can tell us if there was any real risk in
not stopping it before changing the timestamps.
On Thu, 24 Jun 1999, Petr's answer to the above:

Again, Thanks Petr / Ray
