Clear the whole Postfix mail queue

To clear the whole Postfix mail queue you can use this command:

~# for i in `mailq|grep '@' |awk {'print $1'}|grep -v '@'`; do postsuper -d $i ; done

Thomas Sewell from coolsewell.com contributed with this helpful notes:

you could also just do:

postsuper -d ALL

to clear all mail queues or even

postsuper -d ALL deferred

to just get rid of deferred mail from the queue.

Thanks Thomas! :)
