Hi

How do i identify and remove e-mail that sits in the outbound queue after a Windows virus sent millions of e-mails from the network?

Thanks

You will need to download and install qmHandle which you can get from here.
Next you need to stop qmail. I saw a reply saying the proper way to stop qmail was

Code: [Select]

svd -d /service/xxx but I tried this and it didn't work so I used the following

Code: [Select]

#/etc/rc7.d/S80qmail stop
#/etc/rc7.d/S85smtpfront-qmail stop
Once qmail is stopped from the command line run

Code: [Select]

#/usr/bin/qmHandle -D
(WARNING - this will delete ALL the mail from both the local and remote mail queue's). Now you can restart qmail.

Code: [Select]

#/etc/rc7.d/S80qmail start
#/etc/rc7.d/S85smtpfront-qmail start
Hope that helps.
