Deleting mail in postfix queue (mailq)

Published on Thursday, December 15th, 2011 in Linux. No Comments →

Well another problem.

One friend call me that his server can’t send / receive e-mails. After I got ssh logins I see with mailq that where more then 20000 e-mail on queue.

Well I decided to remove all e-mail from queue but how to do this.

Well the magic command is :

postsuper -d ALL

this will erase all e-mail from mailq queue

If you want to remove just one e-mail id run

postsuper -d mailID

Hope will help someone.
