[Work Around] 50k+ messages in Corrupt Message Queue

[thardison]

I had inadvertently created a mail loop with Archiver, and came in to find that I had 50,000+ messages in the Corrupt Message Queue. I've fixed the loop so it wont happen again, but I have some left-over garbage.

There are some legitimate messages in there, and I would like to just "blow away" the unwanted messages. I've already been using omtidyallu to clear out the messages from mailboxes:

Code: Select all

omtidyallu -d -k -T i -S -t "failure notice"


Is there a similar method for removing the messages from the "Corrupt Message Queue"?

And if anyone is curious, omshowlog shows this:

Code: Select all

For each message.

Hi!

Use omqdump to delete messages from the queue. Password for omqdump is same as that
for omcontain.

Thanks,

Subir, what about the legitimate messages that are also jammed in there?

[thardison]

What I am doing as a temporary work around, is to dump 1000 messages at a time into the router queue, then using omtidyallu to remove the offending messages. However this is going to take me some time.

Hi!

For the error you get:

ERROR Local Delivery(Local Delivery) 05.11.07 04:19:13
[OM 2207] Unable to allocate memory.

to know more about the error code, run the command omsolve -n OM 2207 , it describes
that you are getting this error, because of the shortage of Virtual Memory.

The above error might also be caused because, JVM, might require a higher file descriptor
limit. If an application can't open files because the file descriptor limit has been exceeded,
you might get a NoClassDefFoundError error message. Increase the limit by issuing the
command:

Code: Select all

ulimit -n 10000

Once this is done try resubmitting the legitimate messages using command omresub, see
the man pages for details.

Thanks,
Subir

Thanks Subir, this was also helpful.
