Hello, guys. I've done many searches here and have found solutions to the standard qmail queue filling up issue, but my queue has just recently started filling up again, and I can't track the problem down.
A few months ago, my qmail queue started filling up quickly, and I did the following things to make it stop:
1. apply the 127.0.0.1 / 32 mail whitelist change
2. change all of my domains to "reject" unknown mail instead of "bouncing" it
3. cron a nightly, selective delete of messages with subject "failure notice" in the qmail queue
All has been smooth for several months, but mail started building up again, and my qmail queue last night was a staggering 345,000 messages! Looks like most of the messages are still failure notice messages, which is baffling.
Any ideas on how to track down the problem this time? I just confirmed again that all my domains are set to "reject" and not "bounce."
Also, what's an easy way to list qmail queue message information? I'm using qmHandle, which lets me selectively delete based on subject content, but when I use it to list huge queues, it just sits there. Maybe it takes a long time with so many queued messages...
Thanks for any help you might be able to give me...
