>From what I know:

The /var/qmail/queue/mess directory contains the messages in your queue
/var/qmail/queue/remote contains a list of recipients.

To therefore check if there is a message for [EMAIL PROTECTED] in your
outgoing queue, enter /remote and type:

grep [EMAIL PROTECTED] * -r

It'll probably throw up something like 17/178456. Look up that directory
and filename in the mess directory: /var/qmail/queue/mess/17/178456.
That's the full message text.

To therefore delete a message from your queue, delete both the header
file and the message file.
