instructions how to setup moderated list
Hi, I've searched everywhere how to setup a moderated list, although found some answers, still not sure.. I need to make sure new posts to the mailing list are first sent to me, to be verified by me. How is that done? TIA Mike
Re: qmail, fetchmail, serialmail et al
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- But now what? How do I get serialmail --- if that is what I should be using --- to send email out to my ISP? Or have I wandered down the wrong path? If you followed the advice in the FAQ (created an ~alias/pppdir maildir and put the line ":alias-ppp" in your /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains) all your outgoing mail should be in the ~alias/pppdir directories. Just arrange for serialmail to run whenever your link comes up (e.g.: run it in your ip-up script) /var/qmail/bin/maildir2smtp ~alias/pppdir alias-ppp- ip.address.of.your.smtp.relay your-helo-name A better option (IMHO) is to apply the patch and foolow the directions at http://www.warren.demon.co.uk/qmail.html If you don't want to deliver mail yourself (you're on a slow, intermittent link *and* trust the smtp server of you ISP) you can use it to deliver mail by putting a line in /var/qmail/control/smtproutes :name.of.your.smtp.relay Bye - -- Luca Olivetti | Tarifa Plana ya! http://tarifaplana.home.ml.org/ http://www.luca.ddns.org/ | FAQhttp://www.luca.ddns.org/ptp-faq.html - UNETE A LA ASOCIACION DE INTERNAUTAS: HTTP://WWW.INTERNAUTAS.ORG -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: 2.6.3i Charset: latin1 iQEVAwUBNo9dEC+cN8LMozC5AQGiNgf6As+SDR6Zn8NRTwDA/cXwjreHYWT5EldH ZpPjL7oKaayKEqy9P8hwft4gbM2sj5hq7MkKZpnDM4UpB2X+IHMTxpFY+Foq07kg EE4z2q0CRbj17cSpN7WBcgGC114YMy9GGs4khz+hZ+lkXdx2O9ATDkf+n5Yv/5CC mtqw/5daATv1e+fabBABTJVU0Pa71wDdL7OCM8T+fUG5n6KtKfS1vKu0k7ERYxF5 lfWFL0fNCQ83d0kC7bpvVgBanPZXZfAm+YznMkHn5teRQu+8pm4Zp2hHr2QtdZ9t NJxEiwOWE7gyUeokwAn4b7lx+piGGaAuvQYO9boKMwcISIY66prZJg== =9its -END PGP SIGNATURE-
Quota on Maildir?
I have a Qmail 1.03 system running for POP3 users. These users are created as popusers (with linuxconf) on a RedHat 5.1 system. I'd like a bit more handy quota inforcement system than the ordinary quota on Linux. I have been looking into mailquotacheck.sh by Paul Gregg. What are the alternatives? -- Best regards / Mvh., Steen Suder sysadm kollegie6400.dk "Don't fear Microsoft; fear the ignorance!" .
tcpserver for telnet?
hi, i've been using tcpserver for smtp and am pretty impressed with its performance. I wanted to shift telnet over on tcpserver, and i did it successfully too, but i still am having a few problems regarding this: 1. i can't get the tcp.telnet file working..in.telnetd is open for everyone. i did the following: in my /etc/tcp.telnet: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:allow then i did tcprules /etc/tcp.telnet.cdb /etc/tcp.telnet.tmp /etc/tcp.telnet (in exact steps of the tcp.smtp file, just omitted the RELAYCLIENT bit) it doesn't work..i can't seem to restrict access on this machine to only xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 2. i'd like to log these entriessince the tcpserver can run in verbose mode...i want to put it's output into /usr/adm/messages (the file maintained by syslog). how do i do that? just by appending the stuff to the 'messages' file? 3. the telnet speed seems to be a bit slow (but thats the least of my worries right now!) anyone? and thanx in advance :) -- Omer Ansari Network Engineer, Supernet PDSL PK.

tcpserver question
I am new to qmail and tcpserver. I installed tcpserver and was under the impression that it was a superserver like inetd, only better. I conffigured to to manage qmail, qmail pop3, telnet, and ftp. The thing I noticed when checking my processes was that tcpserver had 2 processes for each of the services for example it had the following for telnet. supervise /var/lock/telnetd tcpserver -v -c40 -x /etc/tcprules.d/telnetd. tcpserver -v -c40 -x /etc/tcprules.d/telnetd.cdb -u0 -g0 0 telnet in.teln With inetd it only had inetd running, until the telnet port was hit, then it would spawn the telnetd process. I am curious if this is how its designed to work, or if I am doing something wrong.
qmail uucp problem (both rmail´s)
Hi, i´m trying to receive mails via UUCP (over TCP/IP) using qmail and rmail (both the rmail from sendmail and the one from the qmail page). I get the same errors with both rmail´s so i guess it´s not rmail´s fault that it doesn´t work. But i was not yet able to track the problem down. Here´s a detailed description: - i send a mail from an external account to my uucp site kasi.snafu.de - i connect from that uucp site to the uucp uplink via TCP/IP and Taylor UUCP - i receive the test mail and it´s handed over to rmail - the error occurs while rmail is treating the mail - i get locally (on the uucp site) an error mail and qmail returns also an error mail to the external account The address of the test mail´s sender is [EMAIL PROTECTED] The target address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here´s what i see in the uucp Log: uucico unlisys.snafu.de - (1999-01-03 19:58:06.99 5591) Calling system unlisys.snafu.de (port TCP) uucico unlisys.snafu.de - (1999-01-03 19:58:13.05 5591) Login successful uucico unlisys.snafu.de - (1999-01-03 19:58:15.36 5591) Handshake successful (protocol 'e') uucico unlisys.snafu.de root (1999-01-03 19:58:17.94 5591) Receiving D.unlis3d696a6 uucico unlisys.snafu.de root (1999-01-03 19:58:18.35 5591) Receiving X.kasiC1e62 uucico unlisys.snafu.de - (1999-01-03 19:58:18.64 5591) Call complete (6 seconds 759 bytes 126 bps) uuxqt unlisys.snafu.de root (1999-01-03 19:58:19.22 5592) Executing X.kasiC1e62 (rmail kl) uuxqt unlisys.snafu.de root (1999-01-03 19:58:19.25 5592) ERROR: Execution: Exit status 1 uuxqt unlisys.snafu.de root (1999-01-03 19:58:19.25 5592) Execution failed (X.kasiC1e62) Here is the qmail log about that mail: Jan 3 19:58:21 kasi qmail: 915389900.820790 new msg 669887 Jan 3 19:58:21 kasi qmail: 915389901.300937 info msg 669887: bytes 337 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] qp 5595 uid 10 Jan 3 19:58:21 kasi qmail: 915389901.301238 starting delivery 24: msg 669887 to remote [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jan 3 19:58:21 kasi qmail: 915389901.301433 status: local 0/10 remote 1/20 Jan 3 19:58:21 kasi qmail: 915389901.331880 new msg 669888 Jan 3 19:58:21 kasi qmail: 915389901.332168 info msg 669888: bytes 539 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] qp 5597 uid 10 Jan 3 19:58:21 kasi qmail: 915389901.502039 starting delivery 25: msg 669888 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jan 3 19:58:21 kasi qmail: 915389901.502344 status: local 1/10 remote 1/20 Jan 3 19:58:22 kasi qmail: 915389902.321140 new msg 669889 Jan 3 19:58:22 kasi qmail: 915389902.329969 info msg 669889: bytes 639 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] qp 5601 uid 1000 Jan 3 19:58:22 kasi qmail: 915389902.423249 starting delivery 26: msg 669889 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jan 3 19:58:22 kasi qmail: 915389902.423569 status: local 2/10 remote 1/20 Jan 3 19:58:22 kasi qmail: 915389902.423772 delivery 25: success: did_0+1+0/qp_5601/ Jan 3 19:58:22 kasi qmail: 915389902.423959 status: local 1/10 remote 1/20 Jan 3 19:58:22 kasi qmail: 915389902.512708 end msg 669888 Jan 3 19:58:22 kasi qmail: 915389902.602432 delivery 26: success: did_1+0+0/ Jan 3 19:58:22 kasi qmail: 915389902.602776 status: local 0/10 remote 1/20 Jan 3 19:58:22 kasi qmail: 915389902.602964 end msg 669889 Jan 3 19:58:48 kasi qmail: 915389928.585771 delivery 24: success: 195.21.255.251_accepted_message./Remote_host_said:_2 Jan 3 19:58:48 kasi qmail: 915389928.586178 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 Jan 3 19:58:48 kasi qmail: 915389928.586363 end msg 669887 Here´s the error mail which i get on the uucp/qmail box: From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Jan 03 18:58:22 1999 Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received: (qmail 5601 invoked by alias); 3 Jan 1999 18:58:22 - Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received: (qmail 5597 invoked by uid 10); 3 Jan 1999 18:58:20 - Date: 3 Jan 1999 18:58:20 - Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: UUCP execution files saved after failure Status: RO Content-Length: 286 Lines: 9 Message from UUCP on kasi Sun Jan 3 19:58:20 1999 A UUCP execution request failed: rmail kl The request was made by [EMAIL PROTECTED] The following files have been saved: /var/spool/uucp/.Failed/unlisys.snafu.de/X./X.kasiC1e62 /var/spool/uucp/.Failed/unlisys.snafu.de/D./D.unlis3d696a6 And here´s the error mail qhich qmail sends immediately to the external account (the one which had sent the test mail to the uucp site): From kasi.Snafu.DE!uucp Sun Jan 3 19:56:06 1999 Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received: by www.inx.de (Smail3.2.0.96inx) from kasi.Snafu.DE (212.81.130.118) with smtp id m0zwsgl-000olyC; Sun, 3 Jan 1999 19:55:47 +0100 (MET) Received: (qmail 5595 invoked by uid 10); 3 Jan 1999 18:58:19 - Date: 3 Jan 1999 18:58:19 - Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Execution failed Status: RO Content-Length: 115 Lines: 5 Message from UUCP on kasi Sun Jan 3 19:58:19 1999 Execution request failed: rmail kl

Re: qmail-pop3 installation
BTWY, there is a qmail-pop3d initscript in the qmail rpm. To set it up, you just need to do chkconfig qmail-pop3d.init on #This will start pop3d automatically at boot /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail-pop3d.init start #this starts pop3d BTWY, recall that in the future qmail is not going to support inetd; only tcpserver.

Re: qmail uucp problem (both rmail´s)
Kaspar. It looks like uucp cannot find the rmail command. Are you sure rmail is in uuxqt's path and importantly, is rmail set to be executable and readable by uuxqt? Regards.

Re: Quota on Maildir?
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED] you wrote: I have a Qmail 1.03 system running for POP3 users. These users are created as popusers (with linuxconf) on a RedHat 5.1 system. I'd like a bit more handy quota inforcement system than the ordinary quota on Linux. I have been looking into mailquotacheck.sh by Paul Gregg. What are the alternatives? You'd need to describe your own setup a little more clearly. *If* you permit each user to be in control of their own .qmail- delivery control files then the only quota option you have at your disposal is the system quota.

I want to reject mail being sent to certain valid usernames, such as my database. I'd also like to bounce some mail to nonvalid usernames without accepting and bouncing afterward since they only double bounce anyway. Me too. As people pointed out, I meant RCPT TO not MAIL TO. To do this, then it requires qmail-smtpd to know everything that qmail-send does. It requires a major rethink and rewriting of the qmail system. Interesting theory, but hard to believe. All I want is a place to put a list of addresses that won't be accepted as RCPT TO arguments even if the domain is otherwise acceptable. Note that there's no new linkage here to anything other than perhaps a file in which the names are listed. If you are in control of the local delivery then you already can control who sends mail to your database. Why can't you use procmail? As has been noted many times, rejecting mail at the SMTP level saves processing and makes it more likely that the sender will notice that it was rejected.

All I want is a place to put a list of addresses that won't be accepted as RCPT TO arguments even if the domain is otherwise acceptable. Note that there's no new linkage here to anything other than perhaps a file in which the names are listed. There was two issues above. 1) reject mail being sent to valid usernames and 2) bounce mail sent to non-valid usernames without accepting the message. As you note, 1) Is "easy" to patch in. 2) Is non-trivial. If you are in control of the local delivery then you already can control who sends mail to your database. Why can't you use procmail? As has been noted many times, rejecting mail at the SMTP level saves processing and makes it more likely that the sender will notice that it was rejected. True, but since when has processing be a major issue in a qmail box? And if the sender is a valid user then qmail will make sure he gets an error message. I'll dig up the patch that does this and try it out. Given that the badmailfrom code already exists, it shouldn't be very big. Yes, but this is only going to resolve "1" above. I noted to the thread poster that he can use procmail to ensure that only his system can email his database; and Mark pointed out that he can leave the domain out of rcpthosts which will prevent qmail-smtpd from accepting it from remote sites. If the domain is his normal one, then it shouldn't be hard to use Mark's method and make up a dummy domain for which a .qmail-default can relay the email through to his database. Why does anyone need a control file for "badmailto" ? Think about it. You don't need one. Why would you want to list valid users email addresses in a "badmailto" file? (listing non-valid addresses isn't going to do much, except saving qmail from having to generate a no such user bounce).

Note that there's no new # linkage here to anything other than perhaps a file in which the names # are listed. # # There was two issues above. 1) reject mail being sent to valid usernames # and 2) bounce mail sent to non-valid usernames without accepting the message. # # As you note, 1) Is "easy" to patch in. 2) Is non-trivial. # # If you are in control of the local delivery then you already can control # who sends mail to your database. Why can't you use procmail? # # As has been noted many times, rejecting mail at the SMTP level saves # processing and makes it more likely that the sender will notice that it # was rejected. # # True, but since when has processing be a major issue in a qmail box? # And if the sender is a valid user then qmail will make sure he gets an # error message. # # I'll dig up the patch that does this and try it out. Given that the # badmailfrom code already exists, it shouldn't be very big. # # Yes, but this is only going to resolve "1" above. I noted to the thread poster # that he can use procmail to ensure that only his system can email his # database; and Mark pointed out that he can leave the domain out of # rcpthosts which will prevent qmail-smtpd from accepting it from # remote sites. If the domain is his normal one, then it shouldn't be hard to # use Mark's method and make up a dummy domain for which a .qmail-default # can relay the email through to his database. # # Why does anyone need a control file for "badmailto" ? Think about it. You # don't need one. Why would you want to list valid users email addresses in # a "badmailto" file? (listing non-valid addresses isn't going to do much, # except saving qmail from having to generate a no such user bounce). # and saving on double bounces when you have addresses you generated for posting to newsgroups for certain time periods so that SPAM would be bounced is fine and dandy, until after those addresses are invalid, and the return addresses supplied by spammers are invalid as well. The point here is to eliminate this and to make the spammers/sender notice that the message was undeliverable, BEFORE Qmail accepts it, so it doesnt have to deal with it in the first place. Just as badmailfrom rejects messages before a messages is accepted, badrcptto or something like that should also do the same. -- /- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -\ |Justin Bell NIC:JB3084| Time and rules are changing. | |Simon Schuster AAT | Attention span is quickening.| |Programmer | Welcome to the Information Age. | \ http://www.superlibrary.com/people/justin/ --/

However although the thread is about (or was ment to) qmail-II several people were talking about using existing patches and doing stuff now. Let's move it back on track. *If* Dan is to do anything about pre-accept rejection of SMTP messages then it should most definately NOT be using a control file ala badrcptto or suchlike. The smtpd will have to know wether a rcpt to: address will be locally deliverable or not and reject immediately. How Dan does it is really up to him, he's infinately better at program design than I. I'd see it working somthing like: qmail-smtpd-accept - qmail-smtpd-checkaddrs - qmail-smtpd - qmail-smtpd-accept would accept the SMTP conversation up until the DATA statement (so it knows that all rcpt to: statements are received), then pass all data into checkaddrs which would be a custom prog much like checkpoppasswd (i.e. you build in your own badmailfrom, badrctpto, etc checking). If checkaddrs doesn't like any address is can print some error message and exit, else normally it'll execvp qmail-smtpd an carry on. not all machines come with procmail installed, like the later versions of Linux, and not all sites WANT to install procmail, or need to for that matter. There aren't many machines come with qmail installed either ;-) Paul. -- Email pgregg at tibus.net | Email pgregg at nyx.net| Eight out of every Technical Director| System Administrator | five people are math The Internet Business Ltd | Nyx Public Access Internet | illiterates. http://www.tibus.net | http://www.nyx.net | - Anon.

I would like to have a badrcptto file which contains [EMAIL PROTECTED] And to give you a solution, if you really need one, is to have qmail pipe the email to a Maildir enabled procmail which can easily see common spammer headers. Nope. Won't do it. The point is to reject the mail in the SMTP conversation -- something which qmail-smtpd does not have the ability to do. Oh yeah, you can insert a qmail-queue wrapper, but what happens the next time you do a ``make setup''?? Your wrapper gets blown away. Oops! Dan's probable reply? "Don't be stupid."

REMOTE DELIVERY TO MULTIPLE RECIPIENTS
Hello all, I send a mail with multiple recipients to qmail. According to qmail configuration, it should be forwarded to another host for all listed recipients. I would expect, that it will be sended as a single message in single SMTP session (with multiple RCPT TO:). But it's not true - qmail sends it as many separate messages - for each recipient one. Does anybody know why ? Does anybody know, under which conditions will qmail do remote delivery with multiple recipients in single SMTP session ? It's very important question, because qmail is used as a mail server on local intranet - it delivers messages for local users on local hosts and it forwards all mails for Internet recipients to the ISP's mail server via dial-up line. So when single message to many Internet recipients is sent, it increases connection timecost rapidly, if it is forwarded to ISP's mail server as seperate mail for each address. Thank you very much for any answers or recommendations. Matej Ondrusek [EMAIL PROTECTED]

maxrcpt.patch
I'd like to add qmail the option to limit the number of RCPT TO: addresses. I've seen that this patch does it and explains to apply the patch in the source code. If I have qmail already installed, how do I update my qmail to use this patch? Thanks.

Re: Qmail - Startup and POP3 Problems
Hello, I've had similar problems ;-) 1º - The POP3 service is not initializing on startup, a have to go to the /etc/rc.d/init.d and manually start qmail-pop3d.init (./qmail-pop3d.init start) You probably need to link /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail-popsd.init to an rc script in the rc*.d directories. i.e. ln -s /ets/rc.d/init.d/qmail-pop3d.init /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K50qmail-pop3d you might want to do that for all the run levels. An easier fix is to just add the pop command line to the existing /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail script. 2º - When I test the POP3 service, after I start it manually, telneting the POP3 port (telnet 192.168.100.1 110) this is what I receive: - [root@exion /root]# telnet 192.168.100.1 110 Trying 192.168.100.1...

There's a small problem in all this... the maxrcpt patch was written for qmail 1.01. It does NOT apply on 1.03. I've rewritten this last week, but merged it with other patches.

maxrcpt.patch and qmail-1.03
This patch was created for qmail-1.01. Do anybody knows if it is already inserted in qmail-1.03? I have tried to patch qmail-1.03 and I can't, it gives 4 errors :-(
RE: maxrcpt.patch
Where can I download the merged patch? and what does it contain? There's a small problem in all this... the maxrcpt patch was written for qmail 1.01. It does NOT apply on 1.03. I've rewritten this last week, but merged it with other patches. I'll try to re-separate it from the rest next Monday. On Fri, Nov 05, 1999 at 07:58:57PM +0100, Andrés Méndez wrote: 1.

Add the patch to the SOURCES directory I go to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES and decompress var-qmail-1.03.tar.gz inside /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/var-qmail-1.03 Then I go to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/var-qmail-1.03/ and execute "patch -p1 /2/qmail-1.01-maxrcpt.patch", but then it asks for a file to patch. As you can see I'm giving you all the details if I do something wrong. Which file does it have to patch, qmail-smtpd.c? because it doesn't exists (exists qmail-smtpd and qmail-smtpd.8). 4. Edit the .spec file (in SPECS directory) to use that patch 5. Do rpm -ba spec_file in the SPECS directory 6. in the RPMS directory, you have both source and i386 rpm Read RPM-HOWTO if unsure NOTE: After that I would like to apply another patch: mfcheck. I suppose I can apply another patch too, can't I? When using RPMS, it's easier to get the SPEC file to apply patches for you.

Re: maxrcpt.patch
OK, here goes maxrcpt for qmail 1.03. I've given it its own error code (666 :) ). RFC
fanatics, strip it out yourselves ;-)
One note. The default maxrcpt behavior is to deliver it's max number of messages, and
dropping the others. If you want it to reject everything, change
void err_excessrcpt() { out("666 Too many recipients specified (#5.5.4)\r\n"); }
to
void err_excessrcpt() { out("666 Too many recipients specified (#5.5.4)\r\n");
_exit(1); }
Changing the funcion's name to "die_excessrcpt" would also be adequate, but
funcionally irrelevant.

Ricardo

Re: extracting passwords from NTMail?
Theodore Cekan wrote: I will be converting our NTMail installation to qmail. Does anyone know if there is a way to extract passwords in plain text from NTMail? Thanks, Ted Keep the NTmail server up during a transitional period, and write a fallback script to your password database that checks mismatches against the NTmail server using pop3. You can even get the libntlm package and use NTLM authentications during your transitional period but that is may be silly. So you aren't extracting them, but trapping them, which is more work but means the users jsut have to log in during the transitional period instead of assigning them new passwords at transition time. POP3 checkers are easy to write, I can send you UMKCs if you need. libntlm is by Grant Edwards; is used in recent Fetchmail releases; his FTP space is ftp://ftp.visi.com/users/grante/stuff __ David Nicol 816.235.1187 [EMAIL PROTECTED] End Daylight Savings Time in our lifetime

Yep - is used for tracking across time zones easier. But I'd like it to arrive at the destination with the correct stamp on it. How can I change this behavior? You can't. The timezone is available only through the standard C library, which qmail deliberately avoids using because it's a system dependency, and often buggy. Furthermore, think about this -- unless you know the timezone that the recipient of your message is in, you can't stamp in his timezone anyway. You can stamp in *your* timezone in theory, but that won't be right for some recipients. The correct solution is for MUAs to canonicalize all the date-time stamps they display to the current time zone *at the time of display*. This always works -- the MUA is on a system local to the viewer (generally), and it's not a security-critical program so the arguments against using the standard library go away, too. -- David Dyer-Bennet / Join the 20th century before it's too late! / [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/ (photos) Minicon: http://www.mnstf.org/minicon http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b (sf) http://ouroboros.demesne.com/ Ouroboros Bookworms -- Michael Cooley, System Administrator Genealogy Online http://www.genealogy.org/
Problem with mfcheck patch on www.qmail.org
I believe there is a bug in the mfcheck patch on the qmail Web site. I noticed a strange interaction between one of my mailing list servers and our main mail server. qmail generated a double bounce because of a problem with ezmlm (nothing major). It attempted to deliver the message to ~alias/dot-qmail-postmaster, which is forwarded to a remote address. qmail uses #@[] as the envelope sender on the message, but this is refused by the main mail server with the mfcheck patch, saying "envelope sender domain must exist." Now, I suppose that forwarding double bounces to a remote machine may not be the best practice, and I only do it on this one machine. However, I think that the mfcheck routine should check for the special sender address. It seems kinda silly that qmail should refuse its own "special" address, and besides that the mfcheck routine already allows through (yes, I know this is required anyway). I'm aware of the environment variable setting, which I will use for the time being. shag = Judd Bourgeois| CNM Network +1 (805) 520-7170 Software Architect| 1900 Los Angeles Avenue, 2nd Floor [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Simi Valley, CA 93065 Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur.

Removing a delivery from the queue?
Hi, Sorry if this has been asked before, but... I run some mailing lists and the short story is 2 or 3 emails were accidentally fired off to a large list. So they are all queued up and partially delivered but alot of it is not. However, the queue also contains quite a bit of undelivered emails that need to be delivered. What I did was to kill qmail-send and all qmail-remotes, then mv queue queue.yikes and made a new queue then restarted qmail so other incoming mail jobs could be processed and sent out. Now I want to get into queue.yikes and delete the stuff I don't want to go out without disturbing the remaining emails that need to be delivered. Can this be done?
