Subject: where do i clear out the "mailman queue?"
Hello,
The moderation bit was incorrectly set for a list
which resulted in a series of bounce messages being
posted to my list. Unfortunately this was addressed
later rather than sooner. but it has been
addressed.
-I have cleared out the outgoing messages from the
postfix queue.
-I have stopped the mailman service using
/bin/mailmanclt stop command.
-I would like to make delete the bounces or perhaps
move them out of the "queue" so I can re-start
mailman?
-I am worried if i re-start the service that the
bounces will go back out to the list.
-I might be paranoid right now, but I just don't
want
to mess things up further.
Can someone help to make sure i've covered all my
bases and cleaned up my mess appropriately.
Thanks.

Hello,

The moderation bit was incorrectly set for a list
which resulted in a series of bounce messages being
posted to my list. Unfortunately this was addressed
later rather than sooner. but it has been addressed.

This is what i've done:
-I have cleared out the outgoing messages from the
postfix queue.

-I have stopped the mailman service using
/bin/mailmanclt stop command.

What I'd like to do:

-I would like to make delete the bounces or perhaps
move them out of the "queue" so I can re-start
mailman?

-I am worried if i re-start the service that the
bounces will go back out to the list.

-I might be paranoid right now, but I just don't want
to mess things up further.

Can someone help to make sure i've covered all my
bases and cleaned up my mess appropriately.

Thanks.

Have you checked qfiles/* directories?

All messages queued within Mailman are in the subdirectories (queues)
within the qfiles/ directory. The queues you'd be most concerned about
are in and out and maybe retry. If you delete or move aside all the
files in those queues, the messages will effectively be gone and not
processed further by Mailman.
