Mail Queue refilling
Hello

I'm using Cent OS6 and a webmin interface

I've had an issue where over 1 million emails were queued in the sendmail mail queue. I found a thread on here from 2002 explaining how to delete them all and it worked great.

Thanks Perderabu

However, once I restart sendmail there are more emails entering the mail queue.

Will these new emails be bounce backs?
Can I stop them from re-entering as I want to resend an email that was affected by the queue issue?

I'm thinking that the server has been hacked to get so many email in the original queue so I changed the password.

Thanks

A Big Noob Smilie
