Hi Robert,

First, you can use that script to clean up your postfix queue :

#! /usr/local/soft/perl/bin/perl
use strict;

my @qids;
(my $prog = $0) =~ s|.*/||;
my $usage = "usage: $prog <pattern>";
my $pat = shift @ARGV;

die $usage unless $pat;
open(MAILQ, "mailq|") or die "open mailq failed: $!";
my $header = <MAILQ>;
$/ = "";
while (<MAILQ>) {
 # get rid of newlines
 s/\n//g;
 # if we have a line with no "*" (ie not active) work on it
 if (/(^[0-9A-F]{10})\s+/) {
    my $qid = $1;
    # save the QID if we match the pattern
    push @qids, $qid if /$pat/i;
 }
}
close(MAILQ);

if (@qids) {
 open(POSTSUPER, "|postsuper -d -") or die "open postsuper failed: $!";
 for my $qid (@qids) {
    print POSTSUPER $qid, "\n";
 }
 close(POSTSUPER);
}

Second, for virus mail, I personally suggest not to send any reply as 99% of
these have forged "From: " header. It's should avoid loading your postfix
queue.

I have over 10000 messages in the Postfix queue running amavisd-new 2.2.0
thanks to a virus.

These messages are return messages basically telling users they tried to
send a virus, which I'm sure most did not. How can I possibly intercept
these from getting in the queue and maybe even find and delete the ones that
are in the queue now based on some common content?

Please reply off list to webtent@yahoo.com, mail delivery is slowed to a
crawl with the huge queue.
