Stephan: You may want to have something watch your queues a bit more closely if systems currently allow up to 200K messages to build up. At our site we consider it a “bad day” if more than a few hundred spam messages are queued/delayed for delivery.

After stopping the server and changing the password I found 200.000 spam mails in the work directory that had not been sent. I moved these away and restarted the server. Everything runs fine. After that I found 153 non Spam mails between the 200.000 mails, I moved these files back in the work directory (*.idx and *.itm). However, despite restarting surgemail, these 153 are not sent. How do get surgemail to work on these? Thanks Stephan

I think it will probably find them eventually anyway, but to be sure:
Stop surgemail
delete del.noidx
And restart, that should force it to recheck.
If it still fails, make sure you placed them in the right matching work sub folder that they came from.

Hi,
somebody got hold of a mail account and password and used our server to
relay spam.
After stopping the server and changing the password I found 200.000 spam
mails in the work directory that had not been sent. I moved these away
and restarted the server. Everything runs fine.
After that I found 153 non Spam mails between the 200.000 mails, I moved
these files back in the work directory (*.idx and *.itm).
However, despite restarting surgemail, these 153 are not sent.
How do get surgemail to work on these?
Thanks
Stephan
