another qmail-clean question

1999-12-01 Thread dd 


hi

i know that deleting a mail from the queue is not recommended (i don't
know why though) but i had to delete all the 29 mails waiting to be
transferred (qmail-qstat said there were 29). i ran qmail-clean but had to  
hit CTRL+C when there was no responce from it after ca 1min. qmail-qstat
said there were still 29 mails in the queue. i had thought it should have
removed some at least. i killed qmail-send and tried running qmail-clean
again but nth changed. 
i read its man page also (qmail's man pages are pretty explanatory and
informative generally) but couldn't see any info i needed. errm, what does
qmail-clean do? if it does not remove the mails in the queue why does it
exist (i don't aim to be rude with this question, don't misunderstand
pls)? or should i rgrep the ~queue directory for the mails to be removed
and delete them manually?

thank you...

love and peace etc,
dd

In my experience and based on other input from the list the best way to
eliminate messages from the queue is with the qmHandle script on the
qmail website (I don't think it's listed on the site with that name).

Works well for me.

 Because qmail-send maintains its own information
 about the contents of the queue, independent of what
 is on disk.  If the two get out of sync, qmail-send
 will not be happy.

 qmail-clean is used internally be qmail-send.
 
 If you really need to delete messages from the queue,
 kill qmail-send.  When it's exited, look through
 the output of qmail-qread for the message numbers
 you want.  Then delete everything corresponding to
 those message numbers:
 
 {local,remote,info,mess}/msgnum%23/msgnum
 
 qmail-qread will not tell you about stuff in todo/
