    I had my website attacked and the hackers managed to send all my members spam e-mails and they even capped my daily relay of 15,000.

    Apparently this was a known pligg issue!

    How can I stop all the e-mails that might still be in q using SSH and linux

    Thanks,

    Brian

    For reference, from the postsuper man page:
    postsuper -d ALL
    Code (markup):
    Specify  -d ALL to remove all messages; for example, specify
     -d ALL deferred to delete mail in the deferred queue.  As a safety 
    measure, the word
    
    ALL must be specified in upper case.
    
    Code (markup):
