Post by: cb-wizard on December 01, 2005, 04:36:16 PM

Thanks

You will need to download and install qmHandle which you can get from here. (http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/saco/contrib/e-smith-qmHandle/e-smith-qmHandle-1.0.0-7.noarch.rpm)
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.
