Hi,
Can someone tell me how i can cancel an email i send from the shell prompt. I sent an email using the following command
mail -s 'subject' here@domain.prefix < report.txt
I've only just seen that the attachment is 160mb in size. How can i remove it from the mail queue?
Thanks

If you need to clear out the SMTP queue in a hurry, you can use the following:
1. Change to the qmail queue directory:
cd /var/qmail/queue
Warning
Please be VERY sure that you are in /var/qmail/queue when you run the find command below. If you are anywhere else, you risk SERIOUS data loss (although you can recover using idb).
2. Find and remove bulk email:
find -type f -exec rm -f {} \;
