Re: deleting messages from the queue

Some of them for almost a week (I know they'll timeout after a week (and that the timeout is configurable), but this is ridiculous. I have tons of mail in the queue going to pm0.net (see www.postmastergeneral.com). Almost all of it is bounce messages. Almost all of it from where someone who owns a mailing list on postmastergeneral.com is STILL sending email to now-defunct email addresses (email accounts that were cancelled). I have looked at the problem long and hard and have yet to come up with a workable solution. I use qmail-1.03 and vpopmail-3.4.11. It seems that when using virtual doamins, qmail-smtp will NEVER reject a recipient - even if that user does not exist. Instead, it relies on the qmail-local (or in my case, vdelivermail since I'm using vpopmail) to send a bounce. However, it looks like postmastergeneral.com (and others) is not removing addresses from lists based on the bounce messages that I'm sending. I know I can change the default text of the bounce message using the .no-user.msg file, but a) I'm not sure where this file should be (is it global or per virtual domain), and b) I don't know what to put in it so that listservers will properly handle the bounces. One more caveat about my setup. I am using vpopmail with mysql support and all the user/domain information is kept in mysql tables. Anybody got any ideas on how to solve this?
