install qmHandle contrib

> how can i stop the pending mail from sending out

to stop your mail system
/etc/init.d/smtpfront-qmail stop

delete offending message from queue using qmHandle contrib, see server manager panel

restart mail
/etc/init.d/smtpfront-qmail start

you can also try qmHandle from the command line. It may work faster depending on the number of emails stuck in the remote:

man qmHandle (to see a list of easy commands)

#to clear qmail queue
#stop qmail
/etc/init.d/smtpfront-qmail stop
/etc/init.d/qmail stop

qmHandle -D

#restart qmail
/etc/init.d/qmail start
/etc/init.d/smtpfront-qmail start

The actual version of the qmHandle contrib is smeserver-saco-qmHandle-1.2.1-1.
