Hmmm, ok.

Hmmm, OK, I haven't used pipe transports in ages, but I suppose, you've 
gotten rid of all that, so the only things that remain are things on 
your queue?

So, you are on Exim4, right?

Then I have a really brutal way of deleting everything...:
cd /var/spool/exim4/msglog/
exim4 -Mrm `ls`
Since /var/spool/exim4/msglog/ happens to contain files named after the 
message ID for each email, this will remove them all...
You have to make sure that there aren't anything there that you don't 
want to delete of course... And don't hold me responsible for any lost 
email... :-)

Cheers,
