I had this wild thought that the queuelifetime value is compared with when
the qmail daemons were started, such that if I recently started qmail
(/etc/init.d/qmail start) and if I have a queuelifetime of 7 days, then
everything spooled, including the obsoleted messages, will get sent....

Thanks for all your reponse!

That's exactly what you said the first time.

See the man page for touch. touch -t 01010000 will set the date of the file
to
midnight on January 1. That'll make qmail think it's been in the queue for
too
long, so it'll bounce it.
