Hi list, I notice that i have a huge queue.
/service/qmail-send: up (pid 1520) 2907232 seconds /service/qmail-send/log: up (pid 1524) 2907232 seconds /service/qmail-smtpd: up (pid 1519) 2907232 seconds /service/qmail-smtpd/log: up (pid 1526) 2907231 seconds messages in queue: 560 messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0 Going through the queue, i notice that almost all of the mails in the the queue are junk mails sent out to invalid mailboxes. I had checked the /var/log/qmail/current @400000003ff925b10cd28244 delivery 194018: deferral: Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name._vpopmail_(#5.1.1)/maildrop:_error_writi ng_to_mailbox./maildrop:_signal_0x19/ @400000003ff925b10cd2a56c status: local 5/10 remote 0/20 @400000003ff925bb0ce070ac delivery 194019: deferral: Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name._vpopmail_(#5.1.1)/maildrop:_signal_0x19 / @400000003ff925bb0ce097bc status: local 4/10 remote 0/20 @400000003ff925c01c45349c delivery 194020: deferral: Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name._vpopmail_(#5.1.1)/maildrop:_error_writi ng_to_mailbox./maildrop:_signal_0x19/ @400000003ff925c01c455bac status: local 3/10 remote 0/20 @400000003ff925c216fa2de4 delivery 194021: deferral: Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name._vpopmail_(#5.1.1)/maildrop:_error_writi ng_to_mailbox./maildrop:_signal_0x19/ I realised that it is the maildrop which is having the problem. I have | preline maildrop ./.mailfilter in .qmail-default and in .mailfilter i have ############################################ VPOP="| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox" VHOME=`/home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d [EMAIL PROTECTED] if ( $SIZE < 262144 ) { exception { xfilter "/usr/bin/spamc -f -u [EMAIL PROTECTED]" } } if (/^X-Spam-Flag: *YES/) { exception { include $VHOME/Maildir/.mailfilter } exception { to /home/vpopmail/domains/nchost.net/abuse/Maildir } } else { exception { include $VHOME/Maildir/.mailfilter } exception { to "$VPOP" exit } } ############################################ Can anyone tell me where my mailfilter had gone wrong and how do i clear out the queue? I am running qmail 1.03, vpopmail 5.3.20, spamassassin 2.55, and maildrop 1.5.3
