Hi all,

We run listserv14.5 and sendmail as MTA.
As our server is part of the listserv backbone our server ist sending
X-Spam-Jobs to other servers.
Now we have the problem that some of these server-adresses are not
contactable and our sendmail-mailqueue is full of e-mails to these
servers . The Delivery Status Notification (DSN) code is 4.0.0, so it is
a temporary failure and sendmail will try againg to send the e-mail. 
I alrady asked Lsoft-Support because of this problem and they will try
to fix the problems existing with these servers.
In the meantime I would like to remove the e-mails (X-Spam-Jobs) to
these defective servers from your sendmail-mailqueue (and prevent that
new e-mails are sent to these servers).

Now I have two questions:
1. Is it possible to delete e-mails from the sendmail-mailqueue?
So far I could't find a possibility to do that with sendmail but perhaps
there are some versed sendmail-users who know some tricks to do that.
2. Is there a possibility to force sendmail to drop any mail to that
specific addresses directly?

Thank you very much for your help,
Sabine
