Interestingly, I'm in a similar situation, only my messages are still in the queue. Normally, I would just put ":new.server.name" in my smtproutes, and have it dump its queue, but it's already put all of the local messages in the "local" section of the queue, which doesn't look at smtproutes.

Wouldn't I have to delete most of the passwd file and the /var/qmail/alias directory in order for a .qmail-default to get looked at? And do you know of any reason why these queue-mucking techniques: Can I just move them into the remote directory, then run the queue? Or tar up the queue

First of all, this is a really stupid situation we should never have run into in the first place ; however : Due to some not so interesting reasons, for a couple of days our DNS has pointed to another machine with our cloned qmail-configuration on another IP in another town. I have complete

It depends on where the mail is on this clone server. Is it in the mail queue or has it been locally delivered to users there? The former is much easier to deal with than the latter. Regards. On Thu, Jun 29, 2000 at 01:56:31AM +0200, Andre Morin wrote: First of all, this is a really stupid
