Re: Lots and lots of emails in queue

No question is a dumb one! Yes, restarted postfix & mail scanner and also the server many many times. I was going to look through the mail log, but it was 4.2gb. There's no way I can open a 4gb txt file in any sort of reader, so rather than worrying what was in there and never being able to read...
