I dont think messages in the hold queue will not get delivered regardless of postqueue commands. You need to use "postsuper -H ALL" to release them for delivery. _____ From: tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org [mailto:tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org] On Behalf Of Raymond Norton Sent: Tuesday, October 13, 2009 8:41 PM To: TCLUG List Subject: Re: [tclug-list] transferring mail I use postfix on almost all my mailscanners, etc... I tried postqueue -f many times, without success. Mail.log did not show any activity either, which is why I was miffed. It works now, so we're good.

It wouldn't deliver the old messages that were in the hold queue though, so I opened the messages up with a text editor to glean any important info before deleting them. I believe things are working fine now, but can't explain what went wrong in the first place. Justin Krejci wrote: Are you sure there is no hope for your original server? In general the best (only really unless you use QMQP) methods of injection are via smtp and sendmail. A little loop script could probably burn through your messages rather quickly depending on how many there are. The Postfix mailing list archives have examples. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota tclug-list at mn-linux.org http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
