Delete Mail Queue

If you are trying to delete your mail queue in Postfix for ISPConfig 3, try the flush command first before deleting all the mail in the queue. The flush command option will attempt to deliver every message in the deferred mail queue.

To list all mail in the queue:

postqueue -p

To flush the mail in the queue:

postfix flush

If the flush command option does not work, using the delete command will remove all the mail in the queue.

postsuper -d ALL
