Clear Email Queue in Bulk

[darsh_parsana]

So i have more than 1k emails stuck in the email queue and the server keeps on retrying it so is there any way to bulk delete all the emails which are stuck there in queue

https://ibb.co/GdWW55c this is what the queue looks like and deleting them one by one is very time-consuming any way to delete all this in one go by ssh in the server?

@darsh_parsana Just delete the files in /home/yellowtent/boxdata/mail/haraka-queue/ and then docker restart mail

I am a bit noob with docket can you tell me the docket command by which I can get into this?

is this something like docker exec -ti mail /bin/bash

@darsh_parsana it's not inside docker. Just ssh into the server and delete the files in /home/yellowtent/boxdata/mail/haraka-queue/. The command is also run in the server itself.

I want to delete specific messages from my queue - how do I know/ how can I work out which message is which?

In that folder I just see a load of:

root@Ubuntu-2204-jammy-amd64-base /home/yellowtent/boxdata/mail/haraka-queue # ls -la
total 2676
drwxr-xr-x 2       1000       1000 49152 Feb  3 12:58 .

etc

But confusingly, #/emails-queue shows as empty:

I want to clear some out because the mailserver is constantly retrying to send out " Complete your sign up to…" emails it got passed from Ghost after spam sign-ups and they all just bounce so it tries again, and again...
