Hi all,
Thanks again for all the help with optimization to try to reduce /
speed up the processing of my mail queue which at one point contained over
200,000 messages. I am now at about 70,000 and still reducing.
In any event, one of the things I attempted to was to write a
program to parse the queue for specific deliveries and run:
/usr/lib/courier/bin/cancelmsg <qid>
for the specific id's. I thought this was a great step as I have
a whack of messages to a common address that don't need to be delivered.
However, I see now that bounces are being sent for every message I have
marked to delete.
This has not helped to clean my queue as now, instead of the
initial message, I have a bunch of bounces being generated and populating
the queue. So I am no further ahead with that theory.
Is there a way to cancelmsg immediately with no bounce? This
would be a much more effective way to clear the queue. The perl script
that was included by Mircea Damian also used the deletemsg utility so it
was no more help.
I have tried to follow the process of a message as listed at
http://www.courier-mta.org/queue.html, however, it gets pretty confusing
and have yet to sort out how to build a utility to go into the
/usr/lib/courier/var/msgq, msgs, tmp directories and delete the
appropriate files. Has anyone done this already?
If possible, please reply to my email address as well as this
list. I am getting the maillist as a digest and if I can get a response
before the digest is sent, it would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for
any help you can provide. Have a good day.
