Delete mails from send mail mailing queue

问题

I need to delete mails from my centos mailing queue.I'm using sendMail as MTA. I used the following command which I found by searching: cd /var/spool/mail rm -f *

But nothing happened to my mailing queue. And one more thing that if I want to delete mails by subject wise.

回答1:

I didn't have /var/spool/mqueue either.

To remove the mailq in centos if you are using postfix

    rm -rf /var/spool/postfix/defer/*
    rm -rf /var/spool/postfix/deferred/*

回答2:

This may help:

postsuper -d ALL deferred

回答3:

You have removed the wrong folder. You should remove /var/spool/mqueue/ to flush your mail queue

回答4:

Sorry to be a little bit late, but what about

mailq

to get the message-id and

sendmail -Mrm <message-id>

to remove the message from the queue without further notice?

回答5:

Use

postsuper -d ALL

to remove all mails from queue But use only if you know that emails are spam.
