Windows Mail Server - How To Clear Queue
Mar 27, 2009
i'm running a windows 2003 server to host a number of websites.
unfortunatly it looks like i didn't correctly protect the SMTP mail server
i checked the 'badmail' folder in the inetpub and found there were upwards of 250,000 bounced mails there... some spammers were obviously having a field day with my smtp server...
i've now changed the settings so that realys are only accepted from 127.0.0.1 and anonymous access is now disallowed.
my problem is that when i start up the SMTP server again spam is continuing to be sent out because the Queue folder is apparently full of junk waiting to go out...
i've tried entering this folder but the computer hangs, presumably because there are so many there...
i've tried deleting and renaming the folder but even with the smtp server turned off i get an 'Access Denied' error...
what can i do to flush or empty the queue folder ?

Version 12.0.18. Using QMail.
If I attempt to remove even a small message from the mail queue, using the panel interface, the screen grays slightly but nothing happens. If I refresh the screen after several minutes, I'll sometimes get the following message:
"This operation is taking too long. Check the results in a few minutes."
Switching to Postfix eliminated the problem. But with Postfix, all of my Mailman lists (scores of them) broke, so I had to switch back -- and the problem reappeared.

Due to spammer activity, I find myself with 20,000 messages in the queue and I'd really like to remove those emails from the queue as it is causing delays to good messages.
Can you give me the SSH command to remove messages by subject line please?
I have already used
exim -bpru|grep frozen|awk {'print $3'}|xargs exim -Mrm
and
exiqgrep -i -f '<>' | xargs exim -Mrm
and
exim -bpu |awk '/nobody/ {print $3} ' |xargs exim -Mrm
But there are still 11,000 messages left in the queue.
The spammer messages have the following subject lines:
IS THIS TRUE?

I have made any test with PHP x high volume sent with mail() and with direct STMP connection
I monitoring under WHM of my server the QUEUE (under mail queue manager)
With the first (mail()) I see only 20% in the queue, other is sent immediately
With the SMTP I see 100% on the queue and I must send manually (with delivery now) and sent is really slowly

Today my server started to go off-line and each time i restarted it went down within couple minutes. So i looked into it and found that i had over 7000 emails in Exim Mail Queue. All of them are spam. I deleted them through WHM and now everything seems good again but....
My question is how can i check what caused this problem? Has one of my domains been compromised with and sending out spam? What can i do?

I'm having some problems with my exim. The mail queue backs up constantly and now my server load is increasing like crazy when exim is running.
I ran this command tail -f /var/log/exim_mainlog and the log has been listing for probably 15 minutes now and its still not done.

I notice that in my WHM Mail Queue Manager I get a few emails pointing to something that looks like this:
Quote:
Everyone looks like this,
1FnPkc-0000rR-VQ 516 22h Delete Deliver Now
root@host.mydomain.com
and also some emails going to root about backup etc.
I don't have any email addresses set in the "Change System Mail Preferences" options, I left it blank. Should I set a valid email address or is there any way to stop these emails being sent in the first place?

Recently, I keep getting an email from my dedicated server company (godaddy, plesk 8.2 windows) that I've reached my daily limit of 1000 emails when I only send like 20-40 a day max.
So I want to take a look at whats going on, what emails have been sent/received and are still in queue?
Can can I access my mail queue using Plesk? And then how can I delete them?

where to check mail-queue in cPanel ??
my friend has an vps and he has some trouble sending mail to 1 particular host such as hotmail, all the remaining hosts the mails are sent, but only to tht particular mail host the mails are not sent regularly, some times they recv it some times they don't
checked webmail, couldn't see any failed/bounced mail mail msg, so not sure why this is happening, so I want to check the mail-queue for him to check the status of tht particular host, if I could try to sort them out directly with the mail server for him.

I had this spam problem on my server. Some perl scripts uploaded to /tmp folder were generating lots of spam email. We stopped sendmail, cleaned the server from all the bugs and erased all the messages in /var/spool/mqueue. Yet when I start sendmail again I begin receiving lots of autoresponders and returned emails. Where are those incoming mails located? In which queue?

I contacted the guys who I pay to watch over my linux Cpanel server and I do not think they know how to fix the problem. When I look in my mail queue manager in WHM I always see these spam type emails. I also see that my site IP gets blacklisted on:
[url]
I delist and then it appears again a couple of days later. My server is only used to send emails such as registrations and user notifications that they have subscribed to. Could anyone please tell me how to get rid of the spam?
