qmHandle - a tool for the qmail queue
qmHandle is a tool which can be used to manage the qmail message queue. It’s written in Perl (so fully customizable) and has more features than qmail-qread and qmail-qstat.
You can print queue statistics, like qmail-qstat, with color capabilities.
You can view a message in the queue.
You can remove one or more messages from the queue based on a criterion or use multiple delete requests each having its own criterion.
Download qmHandle from SourceForge. You actually only need the script ‘qmHandle’ Upload it to the server and untar it if necessary. You may download the file directly from SourceForge using the wget command:
http://optusnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/qmhandle/qmhandle-1.3.2.tar.gz

First it is recommended to shutdown qmail using the service command to prevent possible corruption of the mail queue.
