How do I clear the outgoing email queue

cory

My ISP had a 5 hour outage and because I have fetch enabled an error is generated and sent via email to me every time it cannot successfully fetch from my pop server. Now that my ISP is back up, I'm receiving a ton of emails that were not able to be sent due to the outage... Where do I find where these emails are queued and how do I stop and clear out that queue?

Thanks in advance.

Are they error messages generated by osticket, or by crond?

If they're generated by osticket, depending on your osticket's outbound mail configuration, it would either be in the sendmail queue or the smtp server queue. If they're generated by crond, it's most likely going through sendmail.

If you're on a shared host, those are probably not something you have access to. You might have something like a .Mail folder in your home directory. If so, look for an outbox...

Otherwise....
