queue problems
hi how can I completely purge queue of messages and fix the annoying bounce message? ... unforunately half asleep I noticed a problems with a message and deleted without stopping qmail 2001-04-29 01:47:12.220485500 delivery 4: deferral: Connected_to_139.222.230.4_but_sender_was_rejected./Remote_ho st_said:_451_rejected:_temporarily_unable_to_verify_sender_address_(try_agai n_later)_[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ 2001-04-29 01:47:12.220507500 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 2001-04-29 01:53:17.305329500 starting delivery 5: msg 16099 to remote @uea.ac.uk 2001-04-29 01:53:17.305344500 status: local 0/10 remote 1/20 2001-04-29 01:53:17.327085500 delivery 5: failure: qmail-spawn_unable_to_open_message._(#4.3.0)/I'm_not_going_to_ try_again;_this_message_has_been_in_the_queue_too_long./ 2001-04-29 01:53:17.370680500 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 2001-04-29 01:53:17.548407500 warning: trouble injecting bounce message, will try later 2001-04-29 01:55:21.579339500 warning: trouble injecting bounce message, will try later 2001-04-29 01:57:25.606358500 warning: trouble injecting bounce message, will try later 2001-04-29 01:59:29.633383500 warning: trouble injecting bounce message, will try later 2001-04-29 02:01:33.660444500 warning: trouble injecting bounce message, will try later I deleted the message then the next delivery of the mail failed and I thought darn I forgot to stop qmail, so I restarted it and then errors on bounce messages started appearing the problems are that the hostname I set qmail up under was fbm.sdns.net and sdns.net keeps dissappearing so I changed all the qmail control files to fbm.yi.org but when I sent from elsewhere it still used the sdns.net address also there has been problems with the mail servers at uea (norwich uni) now there are more messages in my queue that are undeliverable, so I would like to clear the queue safely, I presume they would expire after a while but I would like to get rid of them so I can test that I have qmail working without getting tonnes of old error messages from old emails Neil PS sorry to obscure part of my logs but my sisters email address isnt relivant _ Do You Yahoo!?

qmail-queue problems
Hi folks, I have a single qmail-queue process that is eating all of my resources. I have used the queue-fix program in test mode and it has not found any problems. When I run the utility to list the queue, there are only about 20 messages in and all have been preproccessed. I am currently searching the archives for answers, but if anyone has tackled this issue in the past, I would appreciate your input. Thanks, Chris

You'll need to be more descriptive for us to help you with this. Try actually posting the messages you're receiving, for a start. You should also tell us the hostname of your mailserver, as many common problems can be diagnosed with a simple DNS query and possibly telnetting to your SMTP port.

How can I delete a lot of spam mail from the qmail queue?
May 9th, 2000 06:35
Howard Jones, Nathan Wallace
Magnus Bodin
Take a look at qmhandle:
http://www.io.com/~mick/soft/qmhandle.html
Don't forget to stop qmail before you mess around in the queue.
An alternative that I've used successfully is to
1) Stop qmail, qmail-smtpd and anything else that might try to deliver
messages - leave qmail-pop3d, then at least users can get their
existing mail.
2) Delete the offending messages from the /var/qmail/queue/mess
directories with something like:
find /var/qmail/queue/mess -type f -exec grep "^Subject: Want a
University Diploma" {} \; -print -exec rm {} \;
3) run queue-fix to clean up the appropriate related files in todo,
intd etc.
4) restart qmail.
qmhandle requires individual message numbers to delete messages. When
you have 100,000 messages, this is impractical! queue-fix is written by
Eric Huss, and is available at
http://www.netmeridian.com/e-huss/queue-fix.tar.gz
It's also worth knowing that the find command will still potentially
take hours to delete all that junk - be prepared for some phonecalls!

If you're concerned, look at the files and read INTERNALS. Also clients have been getting times out when trying to send mail... These problems are probably unrelated. Are you logging errors?

Queue problems
I've noticed /var/qmail/queue/mess getting quite full lately, almost as if qmail-clean has died. However, it is still running. When I stop/restart the queue functions (qmail-clean, etc.), the queue shrinks back to normal quickly. I'm running qmail-1.03+patches under RH Linux 6.0 (kernel 2.2.5-22SMP) on a dual PPro 200Mhz box with a fantastic disk subsystem.
