Bulk messages in smtp spool

hello,

I have noticed that all the email are coming delayed.I found out that I have about 600.000+ mails waiting in my SMTP Spool,Including valid emails.
With that i tried to delete all mails older than 3 days in global cleanup action and return me an error of "Request failed five times in a row" meaning failed.

Can it be solve via ssh and delete this files? Where is  this folder? i only want to delete 3 days older because some of the waiting email is not spam,can someone there show me the steps to accomplish these.

Please help !!!!

  • Is pharma.ca your domain?  If not, it looks like you have a mis-configuration in your UTM's SMTP Proxy.  Why are the original spams accepted for delivery to your server?

  • Ritesh, please insert a picture of the 'Routing' tab in 'Mail Security >> SMTP'.

    Cheers - Bob

    PS You're using a version that I don't think is still supported.  If the computer you're running on has 4GB of RAM, you should consider Up2Dating to 9.405.

  • Apparently, you don't have a mail server, so you can just disable the SMTP Proxy.

  • Pick out one of the emails and show us the related lines in the SMTP Proxy log file.

  • I don't know which mail server you have, but it needs to be set to reject emails sent to accounts that don't exist.  You can check that with the following commands.  Assuming your mail server for yourdomain.com is at 10.20.30.41:

    telnet 10.20.30.41 25
    HELO pharma.ca
    MAIL FROM:<med_pills70@pharma.ca>
    RCPT TO:<sdfghjkltyu@yourdomain.com>
    QUIT

    If you have the correct setting, the response to the RCPT TO command will have been 550.  If you don't get 550, you will need help to configure your mail server.

    On the 'Antispam' tab, make sure that *@pharma.ca is blacklisted.

    Finally, let's delete most of the unwanted emails using Mail Manager.  First, delete all quarantined emails older than a month.  Next, in the 'Sender/Rcpt/Subject substring' box, put @pharma.ca and select "1000 entries per page."  Now, page by page, use the check box at the top of the page to select all of the messages on the page, select "Delete" at the bottom and press [Go].
