hi i know that deleting a mail from the queue is not recommended (i don't know why though) but i had to delete all the 29 mails waiting to be transferred (qmail-qstat said there were 29). i ran qmail-clean but had to hit CTRL+C when there was no responce from it after ca 1min. qmail-qstat said there were still 29 mails in the queue. i had thought it should have removed some at least. i killed qmail-send and tried running qmail-clean again but nth changed. i read its man page also (qmail's man pages are pretty explanatory and informative generally) but couldn't see any info i needed. errm, what does qmail-clean do? if it does not remove the mails in the queue why does it exist (i don't aim to be rude with this question, don't misunderstand pls)? or should i rgrep the ~queue directory for the mails to be removed and delete them manually? thank you... love and peace etc, dd
