Delete Message from queue

[andreas]

Hallo,

we have tested an archive Server few month ago, but we forgot to turn out the Archive option in Scalix.
Now we have over 100000 Mails in the Archivequeue.
How can i delete them?

greetings
Andreas

Try omdump - it may be the fastest way if you want to just dump them.

omdumpmsgs or omqdump?

Can you give a syntax example, please?

[Valerion]

Just run omqdump - it will ask for a password (same as omcontain - just search here). You will get presented with a menu, which has a delete option.

which password ich have to enter? sxadmin?

[root@mail ~]# omqdump -p thepassword

Just be aware that omqdump/omcontain/etc are diagnostic tools designed to repair mailboxes. They bypass all security and integrity checks in the server, so they can potentially break things if you're not careful.

thank you Valerion, now it works.
