Ah, ok, that makes sense. And at that point I can just delete the respective files I'm assuming.
Make sure you stop qmail-send first. If you don't want to do that, then you can manually adjust the date of the info file to set it to expire after the next delivery attempt:
touch -d "1 week ago" [path to info file]
When you do a find on the message ID in the queue, the file that is located under /var/qamil/queue/info is what I'm referring to above. That will allow for one more delivery attempt, and then it will expire. If you want to force the delivery attempt, you can send the ALRM signal to qmail-send, forcing it to process the queue.
PLUG: Get Dave Sill's book, "The qmail Handbook". It's invaluable. It covers this, and much much more.
One more clarification, if anyone cares
to take a stab at it - I'm looking at setting up the badmailfrom. It
appears to be a file that you must manually create in /var/qmail/control
that is read by qmail-smtp, correct? After creating it, do I need to do
anything, or does qmail-smtp automatically know to look for it since its
a control file?
No, you don't need to do anything after creating it. qmail-smtpd reads it upon each smtp connection.
