Hi !

This last week, my qmail server was in trouble :

One of my user have misconfigured a computer, so that the computer's
security scanner mail it a report every second... :(((

All was fine because qmail is solid rock software but, the rcpt domain's
relayed by my qmail was unable to handle the 79077 mails in 3 days and
crash with no warning (it's a TFS SMTP 4 on NT server... Beurk).

So qmail start to store all domain's mail (valid and scanner's report).

When the TFS restart, the qmail's queue stored about 7000 mails.

So this is my questions :

HOW TO SELECTIVELY DELETE A LOT OF MESSAGE IN THE QUEUE?

It's impossible to restart the queue from scrach, because i handle 4
domains and the queue store valid and invalid mail.

I have search faq/man/docs, but no informations about this. I have as
try qmHandle... but it's not very usefull.

I solve the problem by restarting every hour the TFS SMTP gateway...
I have also found a solution : 'touch "1 week ago" of the file'... but
what's the good file?

Anyone have already handle this sort of problem?

Regards from France, Christophe.
