Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: How to remove erroneous messages from qmail_mail_queue

Collapse
Posted by Jon Suen on
Greetings,

I have set up a parameter for bounced messages to go to, as before (in both the site-map parameters for the acs-mail-lite service and in the package specific parameter, though the latter doesn't seem to affect the emails).

I've since changed the site-map parameter to send emails immediately, rather than be stored in the DB and that part seems to work ok.

The server log still shows the errors mentioned above and I don't know if removing all the files from the maildir I assigned for new messages will do the trick.

Cheers,

Jon

Sorry to reply to my own post, but I do hope to remedy this problem ...

I've removed (several times) the 'bounced' emails in my /home/{user}/Maildir/new directory, but after some time the mailbox becomes flooded again with bounced messages.

A couple of errors arise from this:
- the server log becomes way too big too quickly (gains 30mb+ in a day or so);
- the mail queue seems to keep reoccuring, and I don't know where the mail queue is getting stored (using acs-mail-lite, I've looked in acs_mail_lite_queue, acs_mail_queue_incoming/outgoing, acs_mail_queue_messages but these return 0 counts when I select on them);
- a restart of the aolserver does not seem to do anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm running dotLRN 2.0.3.

Cheers,

Jon
