WE have a sendmail installation that is trying to process a queue of some 1.8 million emails - mostly, as far as I can tell, double bounce, virus laden stuff.
Of course, sendmail is going into overload, and slowing the machine down enormously, and given that the emails are double-bounce, to no avail. But i tried to delete the queue with "rm *" in /var/spool/mqueue, but got "Argument list too long". Can I just delete the mqueue directory? If so, will sendmail re- create it on the fly, or do I need to manually re-create it?
