RE: [cobalt-users] Re: Flushing mail queue on Qube3

["James Nesbitt \(IHQ Network\)" <ihq-network@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks very much for that - it worked like a charm!

For some reason it is not clearing the undeliverable emails after their
lifespan, dunno why and not sure if I do.  Their where only about 150 to 300
emails so it wasn't bad I guess.

Thanks otherwise!

Regards,

James Nesbitt

Force delivery of any deliverable mail by processing the queue once:

sendmail -q

Any mail that remains after that is undeliverable (check /var/log/maillog
for reasons why), so delete the queue contents:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail stop
ps -ef | grep mail
Kill any mail processes that remain

cd /home/spool/mqueue
rm -rf q1/*
rm -rf q2/*
rm -rf q3/*
rm -rf q4/*

/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail start

Do you know why mail is building up in the outbound queue in the first
place?
