When you say 'free up' do you mean bounce? If so, you should use the
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-qread program to first get information about the
messages:
# /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qread

The number after the date is the queue id, this comes from the files inode.
You will need that piece of information to 'clear' messages from the queue.
I put the following code in a script named 'qexpire' and use it to expire
messages from the queue:
#!/bin/sh
if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then
echo "usage: qexpire queueid [...]"
exit 1
fi
for i in "$@"; do
find /var/qmail/queue/info/ -name "$i" -exec touch -d '2 weeks ago' {} \;
done
So, to remove the two messages in the example above I would issue the
following:
# qexpire 540874 541588
If the messages fail to send when qmail next attempts delivery then they
will bounce. To immediately force qmail to attempt to deliver them you
can send qmail-send an ALRM:
# svc -a /service/qmail-send
I am assuming that you are using a LWQ installation since you used the
qmailctl script. You may find that the qmail-send service directory is
named something other than 'qmail-send' on your system.
Good luck,
Cory
