I'd like to know something... I recently fetch my mail from my remote POP3 server with fetchmail. It dunmped all the messages on my local sendmail daemon as expected... Theonly problem is that, because of a misonfiguration in my domainnames etc some mail got lost thru the queue. So I have 2 questions: 1) Is there a way to purge to mail queue without sending the messages? 2) I got a bunch ('bout 20) messages waiting for me in the /var/spool/mqueue dir. They seem to be marked to be deleted, and are not part of the queue. Any idea of how I might recover this? Thanx!!!
