OS:Fedora 2
Application: Sendmail
Problems: Mail jammed in mqueue folder
My mail server always got a lot of of queuing mail and cause the partition full.
I have try this method to clean up the mqueue folder:
a) /usr/sbin/sendmail -q -v
>> respond too slow
b) rm -rf /var/spool/mqueue/*.*
>>no respond
c)rm -rf /var/spool/mqueue/Qdf*
>>the argument list too long, Qdf is the intial of queuing mail,ex:Qdfdf15a4feccf
d)rm -rf /var/spool/mqueue/Qdfdf*
>>have to repeatly key in the intial part like Qdfdf*, Qdfdg*,Qdfde*....... and at least 5 characters.
1. May I know are there any way that can let me clean up the queuing mail fastly?
2. If I want to control and avoid the queing mail grow fastly, and purge automatically, what should I do?
Please advise
Thanks!
