Re: large email queues

The answer will depend on the SMTP server software which you are using.
For example, in sendmail you usually can just delete files in /etc/mqueue which contain queued messages. Files to be deleted could be found with the use of 'grep' command with the sender address. Sendmail need not be restarted after files are deleted.

Hi!

I am working with a hosting company. One of our servers is being to
SPAM. I can see large number of emails being sent to few particular
domains. The sender is either <> or <anonymouse@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

There are two question I am looking for help.

1. How can I remove the emails already in queue. with blank sender
address or <anonymouse@xxxxxxx> as sender address, or even the domain
name pointed in TO address.

2. as I am we provide hosting, I doubt some of my clients shall
probably be running some scripts to generate these emails... How can I
verify this.

Please comment.
