Unfortunately, no. You can back-date the info file past
queuelifetime, and qmail will bounce that mail, but bouncing requires
the ability to inject a bounce. I'd suggested to Dan that a timestamp
in the early 1970's should be interpreted as a request to discard the
mail, but I never heard back from him. It's easy to implement, but
I'd rather everyone get the benefit of it.
