Is there a document somewhere that describes the structure and functionality
of the /var/qmail/queue directory?

I have 3 messages in the queue according to qmail-qstat, but qmail-qread
only returns info for one message.  I'd like to find out why these other two
emails aren't 'complete'.  I've noticed that there are files in the info dir
for the message that qmail-qread knows about, but not for the other two, so
I assume something has cocked up somewhere along the line.  Unfortunately,
the logs say nothing is wrong except in the case of the first message (the
user sending the mail typed one of the recipient addresses wrong).

What I need is info on how the queue is structured, and to know if there are
any nice tools for:

(a) rejecting a message stuck in the queue when you know the address is
wrong (it should time out soon, but in this case, my user wanted to know
about it immediately)
(b) cleaning out a message that's somehow gotten corrupted, or missing
associated files in other directories (should an incoming message have a
corresponding entry in the "info" subdirectory?)


Please excuse this email if it sounds a little unstructured, but it's Monday
morning ;)
