qmail will delete them if they already pass the queuelifetime,
and notify the sender (using [EMAIL PROTECTED] address)
qmail has failed sent the message
so sender should try to send the message again
(or call you asking why their message can't be sent )

Cool, that shouldn’t be too difficult to pull off. Do you know, what
will happen to those message in the queue. There are many legitimate
messages stuck in there that I would like to be delivered. They are
just lost?

I have messages that were headed for my Exchange server stuck in the
queue on my qmail server. We were having some spam/virus issues and
meanwhile another administrator decided to put a few RBLs into
Exchange’s Intelligent Message Filter (IMF) which started rejecting
email from my qmail server because that server was listed on these
RBLS. So now I have many messages stuck in my queue that have this in
the header:
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at server03.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following
addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

Giving up on 192.168.x.x
Is there any way to still move these through the queue or how would
you guys deal with this issue. I’ve tar’d up the whole queue directory
just so I have a backup of the messages, kind of.
Change /var/qmail/control/queuelifetime to something small (I use 3
hours normally, but in this case I may use 10 minutes, which would be
600). Then do 'qmailctl restart' and then 'qmailctl doqueue' and any
of the messages that have been in the queue for more than 10 minutes
(if you use 600) will be dumped. Once you have it cleaned up just
change it back to whatever you want (like I mentioned before, I use 2
or 3 hours).
