RE: how to kill mail in queue?

[Uday Pai <uday ensim com>]

sendmail -qv will tell the demon to reprocess the queue. If you have a lot
of undeliverable messages (and concommitant mails to root/admin *about*
the undeliverable messages) this can cause an email flood. If you are
certain the messages are invalid (caused by the problem you have
identified) I would simply remove the files.
