You can manually run the tmda-pending program and delete messages from the pending directory. But then you could run into a problem. Say, for example, I sent you a message, and TMDA sent me back a confirmation. Then you waited one day and then blew away all the pending confirmations that hadn't been responded to yet. The next day, I reply back to the confirmation request, and instead, I get an error message back about the confirmation not having been accepted because the file couldn't be found. These are some things you need to consider. People have to be given enough time to reply to the confirmation, and while in most cases the confirmation can get sent back to them fast enough to get them while they are still at their machine... you never know. IF you want to manually flush your pending queue, and delete messages older than one day, or two days, you can do that. delete messages older than one day: /usr/bin/tmda-pending -b -d -O 1d or two days: /usr/bin/tmda-pending -b -d -O 2d -b means batch mode -d means delete -O means 'older than' 1d and 2d mean one or two days you could also add -q to suppress the output and make it quiet. All these commands are visible if you run /usr/bin/tmda-pending -? David __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
