Howto purge a queue ?

Hi, I'm looking for a way to purge all email in an active queue ? How can I do that please ? Best Regards, Pierre-Yves

You should be able to log into the mongodb database either with a desktop client or the shell. All messages in the queue are stored there. To my knowledge deleting the record removes the item from the queue.

You could also use zonemta-webadmin, but I don't think it has anything to bulk delete. Only individually.

Actually, you could use the HTTP api built into zonemta for bulk stuff like this as well, without having to resort to manually going into the db. I believe zonemta-webadmin also uses that api.

Thanks for your help.

If someone read this issue, we do that in mongo

> db.getCollection(“zone-queue”).count({ “sendingZone”: “zone1” })
2004
> db.getCollection(“zone-queue”).deleteMany({ “sendingZone”: “zone1” })
{ “acknowledged” : true, “deletedCount” : 2004 }
> db.getCollection(“zone-queue”).count({ “sendingZone”: “zone1” })
0
