qmail queue fillup solution

Hi community

I spend a lot of time with qmail problems and tried to understand what’s going on. Especially I always was worried about the queue filling up.

When I send emails to customers I normally do this with BCC and fill it with about 50 addresses. Always some of this emails got stuck in the queue. The emails stayed there forever.

Now I figured out (with help of the internet) to get rid of them. Perhaps you are interested in this solution:

queuelifetime is the file where the time is stored how long emails remain in the queue. If you want to turn on this option in Plesk do this! If you don’t have one, create it!

Go to the command line in Unix:

echo "432000" > /var/qmail/control/queuelifetime (43200 stands for one day)

/etc/init.d/qmail restart

You will see that the queued emails disappear after one day automatically . I hope this helps.

Are you sure that 432000 = 1 day?

Or,

432000 = (/60) 7200 min = (/60) 120 hrs = (/24) 5 days ??
