Therein lies the problem. In a matter of days I will have over 1000 messages
in my pending queue. It takes way too long to go through all of these
messages, using either tmda-pending or tmda-cgi.

Well, the point is that "delete" would only mark a message for deletion, so
that it would not appear in the normal output of tmda-pending or tmda-cgi.
That way, the message is still available for confirmation, and would be
deleted after 14 days normally.

If necessary, there could be a permanent delete operation that actually got
rid of a message immediately, along with a flag to tmda-pending to show
messages marked for deletion.

It all comes down to me having to periodically scan my queue, and it being
too large (more than a dozen messages or so) to scan efficiently; the only
way to keep it down is to delete messages, but it's easy (especially because
tmda-cgi's output can't seem to keep from narrowing the subject column too
much) to overlook a legitimate message.
