1) stop qmail
2) delete messages from queue
3) start qmail
Step 2 can be accomplished by deleting all files under
/var/qmail/queue belonging to each message. There will be at least two
files for each message. There are utilities on www.qmail.org that make
this easier.
But I have to ask: why not leave them alone and let qmail bounce them
(or deliver them) naturally? Except in extreme cases, you shouldn't
have to micromanage the queue like this.
