MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Here's one for all you qmail magicians... How do you clean out the queue and start over? Situation: I had qmail 1.03 installed on a redhat 6.2 box and messages kept queueing, to the point it filled up /var filesystem. qmail-qstat showed over 1700 messages queued I've read most of the qmail docs and been to the qmail FAQ and website and didn't find an answer. Here's what I tried: /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail stop # remove the messages find /var/qmail/queue/info -type f -exec rm -f {} \; find /var/qmail/queue/mess -type f -exec rm -f {} \; find /var/qmail/queue/local -type f -exec rm -f {} \; /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail-start This manually cleaned out the queue and qmail-qstat then showed 0 messages queued. But after a period of time (about a day), it filled up /var again and there were a large number of messages queued. I even tried a clean re-install of qmail and it did the same thing. qmail did work initially on this box, as I went through the tests listed in one of the qmail docs and they all worked ok. I'm running sendmail now because it works and I didn't have time to mess with qmail filling up /var daily. I do have qmail running flawlessly on other systems, but would like to know the answer to this question in the event it happens again. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. -scot __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Calendar - Get organized for the holidays! http://calendar.yahoo.com/
