Stop Backlogged Messages From Going Out
Hello, I inherited a server that has a couple mailman lists that interface with postfix and was alerted that daily messages from the list haven't been going out for almost 3 weeks now. I fixed the problem in postfix, and before fixing it I checked queues and files in /var/spool/postfix and in /home/mailman to see if any backlogged messages were set to go out and didn't find any. However after things went back up I've received two messages from the list and I have no idea where they've been hiding. Since I can't have people upset with 20 emails from the list showing up in their inboxes I shut postfix and mailman down. Now I need some help figuring out how to find and stop any old messages from going out and delete them. Can anyone help me understand how to do that? Thanks, Craig

They've probably all been sent already, but any messages queued in Mailman will be in Mailman's qfiles directory. In a source install the queues are directories like $var_prefix/qfiles/in/, $var_prefix/qfiles/out/ and so on, and the actual queued messages are *.pck files in the directories.
Packages may or may not have a 'qfiles' directory. E.g., in the RedHat/CentOS package the queues are /var/spool/mailman/in/, /var/spool/mailman/out/, etc.
