yeah right...check the man page!
I need to clean out obsoleted emails that are spooled, because, for some
non-qmail reason, didn't get sent right away. Right now, here's what I do to
clean it up....
/etc/init.d/qmail stop
cd /tmp/queue/remote
for i in `ls`
do
rm ${i}/2* # cause they usually start with 2
done
I do the same thing with mess, locals...
Is there another way to do it?
I'm not sure what those numbered-subdirs are for. Some of them have last
modification date of several months ago....
-a
P.S. Does anybody know when the Qmail book is gonna be published?
Thanks!

Don't run qmail-clean. It's not meant for humans to run. If you feel that
you
must run it, read the man page.

What problem are you trying to solve? What makes you think that you need to
remove directories?
