@ Cyhaxor & Omer Fadul,
I don't know how you reached this thread, or why you thought you should post to it, but it was answered three YEARS ago.
It is DEAD and should be left to rest in peace.
Dear tredegar
firstly, there is no rule stopping me to post to any threads on this site. beside i was facing the same problem a few weeks a go and i was unable to remove all the files on /var/log/clientmailqueue because i am not using sendmail or postfix services and all root emails was logged to that directory; the total number of files exceeded 635,981 files, the ususal rm -f did not work, and after alot of work i reach to that solution. all i was trying to add was to share my knowledge with others.
