Hi guys,
I am setting up sendmail on a SUSE machine and I want to kill some messages that are queued. I have looked for the words "purge" and "flush" in the sendmail man page but can't see how to kill messages that are queued. I had several that were going to slug-admin that I wanted to kill - too late now :-)
I have been setting up mutt (yes I have decided I really need to ditch netscape mail) but now have to get sendmail working properly on our SUSE box and exim on my Debian box. Gee it was easy with Netscape and POP.
Here is an example entry to Ken. How would I stop that being sent?
mikel$ /usr/sbin/sendmail -bp
Mail Queue (1 request)
--Q-ID-- --Size-- -----Q-Time----- ------------Sender/Recipient------------

Oh this is being sent from mutt - my return addr should be mikel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
