No. First, stop qmail. Next, delete all the files from the queue
directories: bounce, mess, info, local, intd, todo, and remote. Now
restart qmail. If you installed qmail using "Life with qmail", that
could be accomplished by doing:

    /usr/local/sbin/qmail stop
    find /var/qmail/queue/mess -type f -exec rm {} \;
    find /var/qmail/queue/info -type f -exec rm {} \;
    find /var/qmail/queue/local -type f -exec rm {} \;
    find /var/qmail/queue/intd -type f -exec rm {} \;
    find /var/qmail/queue/todo -type f -exec rm {} \;
    find /var/qmail/queue/remote -type f -exec rm {} \;
    /usr/local/sbin/qmail start

qmail comes with "pinq" and "qail" wrappers for "pine" and
"mail". Even better is "mutt" (www.mutt.org).
