Hi,
Yesterday i was called into work early ebacuse we had 41000 messages in our
outgoing remote queue. (As opposed to an average of a couple of hundred).
Luckily, there were 39,000 mails in there to the one address. How to fix?
Grep /var/qmail/queue/info/* for that email address. Get a whole list of
message numbers. Stop qmail-send and delete any files with this message
number in /info, /mess and /remote.
ie.
rm /var/qmail/queue/info/0/10345
rm /var/qmail/queue/remote/0/10345
rm /var/qmail/queue/mess/0/10345
after removing all the files from these three directories our queue was back
to normal. as far as i know, there is no script that anyone has written to
this, so i had to make a little one up myself.
