LinuxQuestions.org - Problem with mailq

Hi,

I use debian, and the problem I face now is "WARNING: mailq is 226 (threshold w = 200)".
I ran the command mailq to find out the list of emails which are stuck in the queue.
However when I run the command

Code:

# postcat -q [MAIL ID]

I am not able to get an output. Instead, this is the error message I get :

Code:

navaai@FSSP0299:~$ /usr/sbin/postcat 11D1E2053B

/usr/sbin/postcat: fatal: open 11D1E2053B: No such file or directory

navaai@FSSP0299:~$

Also in /var/spool/postfix/active, there is only ONE mail ID listed.

Why is this?
