[cobalt-users] How to de-queue mail? Sobig virus message



Hi All,

I run (send)mail on a Cobalt RaQ3. I am repetedly receiving unable to deliver messages from sendmail on my mail server since someone sent the sobig virus to one of my users. The MailScanner caught it, but it is still trying to send to big@xxxxxxxxx

What is the best method to deal with this. I can see the process for the message:

root 11901 0.0 1.8 2680 1172 ? S 12:48 0:00 sendmail: JAA1410

And I can see the queue:

[user@mail]# locate JAA1410
/home/spool/mqueue/xfJAA14106
/home/spool/mqueue/qfJAA14106
/home/spool/mqueue/dfJAA14106

I assume I could delete the files from the queue and kill the process. What's to keep another or more from stacking up?

TIA,
Glenn
