Re: [cobalt-developers] clear mail queue



Someone must of emailed me a very large file. I am unable to download it all. Is there a way to clear my mail queue for that user?

logon w/Telnet as Admin, do an su root
cd /home/spool/mail
rm username - their userid (this will remove their entire email box - including any other messages they may have received.

I'd have them set their email program to not accept email over xK in size (like 100K), retrieve all other mail. Then quickly delete the file before new mail comes in. Then reset the email program to normal sizes.
