With the next version of XMailserver, we should be able to handle them as a lot of mailservers do: don't accept them before they even tried to send the body. For now, I still accept them and most of the time I need to forward them to an other server, that rejects them... After which XMailserver tries to inform the sender of this, which obviously isn't possible... To make a lang story short: I get a lot of frozen "Error sending message" messages in the queue. Is there a way to delete all frozen messages coming from my mail-admin address? And a little bit off-topic: did someone already write a script that would detect all messages from non-existant domains?

No - I'm not an answering script ...

Then delete selected messages. >..a script that would detect all messages from non-existant domains? Mayvortex? Just place this into the scripting corner. -------------------- Bye, Harald -- Download XMail Queue Manager 1.46 NOW: XMail Server Tools -- Cross platform remote queue management! -- Message analyzing on the fly! -- Builtin diagnostics knowledge base! -- Manages multiple mail queues!

I can delete all frozen messages with it and have never seen a frozen message not from the mail admin address, but want to be sure... So is there any way?

Have a look at the example folder of XQM/CMD. It holds samples how to iterate over XQM's output, grabbing selected fields in Perl, Python and PHP. -------------------- Bye, Harald -- Download XMail Queue Manager 1.46 NOW: XMail Server Tools -- Cross platform remote queue management! -- Message analyzing on the fly! -- Builtin diagnostics knowledge base! -- Manages multiple mail queues!

I'll have a look at all possibilities and see what will be the easyest to implement. Taking anto account that I should not have this problem anymore once the next version of XMailserver is out (ah, looking forward tot that!)

This quickie schould do the job:

CODE

#!/usr/bin/perl

# Place sender to delete here, don't forget to wrap in <> ...
$sender = '<maildiag@marketmix.com>';

# Path to XQM executable here ...
$xqmpath = 'xqm.exe';

open(FILE, "$xqmpath -r froz|") or die;

# Collect XQM output in an array of arrays ...
#
while(<FILE>) {
chomp;
push(@rs,[split('\|')]);
}

close(FILE);

# Iterate over this array and
# delete matching senders ...
#
foreach $aref (@rs) {
if(@{$aref}[2] eq $sender) {
unlink(@{$aref}[5]);
}
}

--------------------

Bye,
Harald
