As noted by others on the list, it should not be necessary as they will
expire out of the queue after about a week. Or five days. I can't
remember which.
Anyway, if you want to have it delete everything from the queue on it's
next pass through, you could run this command in the /var/qmail/queue/info
directory:
find . -type f -print | xargs touch 05300000
This would touch all the info files to a date of about 2 months ago. Next
time qmail tries to send them, it will see this and delete 'em from the
queue.
