Red face


I was testing a piece of code and messed it up and accidentally sent myself a TON of email messages. I know, i'm an idiot.

Is there a way that i can delete all the messages in the server's outgoing mailbox or queue or something??

Thanks a ton,
Mike

I don't think outgoing messages are queued for very long...I'll bet they've been sent. Open to correction from a sendmail guru!

You can delete them from your inbox though: /var/spool/mail should contain a text file named as your userid that contains all unprocessed messages. It's nukeable.
