Can't delete mail from queue which does not route to host #793
Comments
Just a short update, it is now over 5 days that this message is in the queue and I can't get rid of it and neither does it seem to disappear from the queue. After so much time think I don't think this is an expected behavior from OpenSMTPD. I would be glad if someone can look into this and let me know if there is a workaround to get rid of this never ending message in the queue. |
The issue has been discussed with @ericfaurot and is well understood: It is not possible to remove envelopes that are inflight and due to how the MTA currently buffers envelopes, it is possible that an envelope remains inflight for way too long when a route is temporarily invalidated. We will look into a quick fix though the real fix is known and will be handled as part of #800 |
@poolpOrg cheers for the news, looking forward to version 6.4.0 👍 |
@poolpOrg - may I ask when this bug might be tackled and squashed? I know it's in the to do list for MTA layer rewrite I'm revisiting OpenSMTPD for my systems, but realise that this bug was one of my show-stoppers for considering it for production, since one wouldn't be able to clear the queue of spam, or messages injected by rogue email clients in the event of flooding. |
The plan is to have the MTA layer rewrite done for the 6.7.0 release. |
I'm on 6.7, and still cannot remove that kind of messages. |
Same here. Is there a way to delete invalid envelopes from the queue while one is experimenting with OpenSMTPd? |
I'm seeing this issue as well. I can delete the envelopes with "smtpctl remove all" and mailq reports that they're gone. However, if I do "/etc/rc.d/smtpd restart" they all come back. Thanks. |
6.8.0p2-3 and this issue still persist. |
7.0, still persist. |
FYI I worked around this by stopping smtpd, finding the message in |
Can confirm that I also hit this issue using 6.8.0p2,

I am using OpenSMTPD 6.0.2p1 as smart host and have the following mail stuck my queue:
I tried to remove it using:
but somehow it re-appears again in the queue. Even more annoying is the following log messages which appear every 15 seconds
So my question here really is how can I get rid of this mail for ever without having to wait the default 4 days of expiring?
Thanks.
