Anyone ever heard of Webshield? Are they really bundling qmail?

Yes and no. If a message in really queued, you can stop qmail, delete
*all* files associated with that message number from the queue, then
restart qmail. However, if the message isn't completely queued, this
might not work.

If there's an intd file associated with these messages, chances are
good that you're trying to delete them before they're completely
queued, so the sender is seeing the failure and resending the
message.

Wait until the message is queued (there's a "todo" file for it) or
preprocessed (there's an "info" file for it), then "touch" the "mess"
file into the future a couple weeks. It'll bounce on the next delivery
attempt.

No. If you're curious, grab the qmail tarball and read the INTERNALS
file.

Good luck. Hope this helps.
