Okay, I guess that you cannot really flush the queue. Here is what I did to remove all messages and get a working qmail queue: # svc -d /service/qmail-send /service/qmail-smtp # cd /var/qmail # mv queue queue.bad # cd /usr/local/src/qmail-1.03 # make setup check # svc -u /service/qmail-send /service/qmail-smtp --Tom Jackson

Yes, but what's the purpose of moving them if you don't intend to re-queue them later? :-) RC -- +--- | Ricardo Cerqueira | PGP Key fingerprint - B7 05 13 CE 48 0A BF 1E 87 21 83 DB 28 DE 03 42 | Novis - Engenharia ISP / Rede Técnica | Pç.

It doesn't, AFAIK. The filenames themselves match the inode of mess/. And the mtime of info/ is used to measure the queue-lifetime of the message. Moving the files would blow up the queue (or at least mess it up a little) RC P.S. - I've realized my original message looked like a reply to the "rm'ing" part of yours. Sorry about that. I was talking about moving them. AFAIK, removing them is safe, unless you have the misfortune of moving something which is being processed at that exact moment. -- +--- | Ricardo Cerqueira | PGP Key fingerprint - B7 05 13 CE 48 0A BF 1E 87 21 83 DB 28 DE 03 42 | Novis - Engenharia ISP / Rede Técnica | Pç.

The first thing to do is, of course, to find out why it is stuck, and fix that problem. Once you've done that, use killall -ALRM qmail-send to tell qmail to try to deliver it now.

Another thing might be to check the permissions on lock/trigger. prw--w--w- qmail:qmail is right. To tell qmail to hurry up, run qmail-tcpok and send qmail-send an ALRM signal. Stefan
