[H-GEN] Stopping Mail that's 'queued' to go

[David Powell (Moondrake)]

Hi All,

I'm in a bit of a hurry and found this list amazingly quick at times, so
please forgive me in advance for not RTFM-ing.

My work's mailman list server (running on debian sarge) has been down
for a few days - my fault entirely, I deleted the 'mailman' list
thinking it was only a 'test' list, and not needed (sys-admin in case
anyone hasn't noticed is not my forte).

I have just restarted mailman and noticed that it is 'catching up' -
i.e. sending out all the mail that was sent to it while it was down (I
didn't expect this).  The problem is that I've noticed some list-members
have been reposting items to lists, wondering why they weren't showing
up.  There is one repost in particular I know is coming, and it's quite
large.  I'd like to stop it if possible to save the list-members having
to download the e-mail several times.

Is this possible, and if so where do I look to find the 'queue'.

I've stopped mailman for now while I look.

Oh, we use sendmail too to deliver mail.

TIA

David
