Which file/process does qmail check the files in queue/info/* against?
How about files under queue/mess/* queue/remote/* queue/local/* ?
Can I do this (touch -t) while qmail is up?
-a

Why do you need to remove them from the queue? qmail will do that itself
once
they're in there for longer than the queue lifetime. If you'd like the queue
lifetime to be shorter, see the qmail-send man page and read about
queuelifetime.

If you're really anxious for these messages to be out of the queue before
they've expired on their own, find the message in the queue/info/* directory
and touch -t it to some early date (touch -t 01010000 should work).
qmail-send
will try to send it one more time, and then it'll decide it's too old and
bounce it.
