Good day,
Our small office server was set up to only deliver email locally. I checked the admin messages with a local email client. I will be moving and would like to check the admin messages remotely. As a test, I set up the admin email to forward to my @gmail.com account. However, gmail probably doesn't like the messages because they come from an unregistered domain.
del xdelay reason
1 4.17 Connected to 208.145.81.17 but sender was rejected./Remote host said: 553 5.3.0 Rejected - listed at spamhaus(see http://spamhaus.org/zen/)/
Now, I've turned email delivery back to local only. However, the previous @gmail.com messages are still in the queue. Will they eventually be purged automatically? Or can I purge them with root privileges?

Eventually (in a couple of days) you'll receive a "Could not deliver, giving up" notice and they will be deleted from the qeue. If you want to delete them yourself you could install the mail queue manager contrib.

No, that's not true. They are rejected (by wsfo.org's mail server) because they are coming from an IP address (i.e. your WAN IP address) which is listed in a spamhaus.org blacklist. Did you not read this?
Rejected - listed at spamhaus(see http://spamhaus.org/zen/)
I don't see anything there about "unregistered domain".
Will they eventually be purged automatically?
They have already been purged from the queue, because of the 530 status (permanent rejection). As a result, a bounce message has been generated. It is probably the bounce messages which you see in the queue. If those are also rejected, there will be a new bounce message (a double bounce message) which will be delivered locally.
Or can I purge them with root privileges?
You could, but it's less likely to cause problems if you just wait until the queue clears.

No, that's for messages which have been deferred (by 4XX status responses). Rejected messages do not stay in the queue.
