Thank you for your response. However you didn't answer my question. Our server keeps mail for 14days because it is a gateway for our customer's exchange servers. We WANT it that way so in the event of a server outage our server can keep the mail queued for the exchange servers until they get back up. Even with so few a day we get thousands of messages rejected for "message refused" in the deferred queue and postfix reties to send them like once per hour wasting our precious colo bandwidth.
If you really want to help you can tell me if it will hurt anything, other than thinking we'll delete "good bounces" because only the spam filter uses this exact message and if it fails al messages are accepted by the server not rejected, to delete these mail files because I am now using the following script. #!/bin/sh # cd /var/spool/postfix/deferred find * | xargs grep -l "Requested action not taken: message refused" | xargs rm Does it mess up Postfix if you manually delete files like this? Is there a command we can use resynch the queues if it does?
