Topic: clearing email que

[aredman]

Does anyone know how to clear the email que. Or at least make it go faster. My mail log looks like this:

messages in queue: 50737
messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0

and it is taking a few days for some email to get through.

Yes ...

- download and install my contrib:
   http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/saco/contrib/e-smith-qmHandle/e-smith-qmHandle-1.0.0-7.noarch.rpm

- run /etc/e-smith/events/actions/navigation-conf

Now you can list all messages in queue with
      qmHandle -L

For more options, simply type qmHandle <RETURN>

Best

If you have that many messages in your queue I would imagine you're being abused by spammers.  I'd see if your in the Open Relay Database (http://www.ordb.org) and some of the other SBL/RBL services.

I'd also ensure that you're not running any Form based mailers, like formmail/etc.
