Deleting a message from the Postfix queue
As of Postfix version 20010502, the postsuper command has an option to
delete Postfix message queue files. To delete the message with queue id
ABCDEF, perhaps obtained from mailq output, one would use:

# postsuper -d ABCDEF

To delete a large number of files one would use:

# postsuper -d - < filename-with-queue-ids

It is usually safe to do this while the Postfix system is running. However,
there is a small chance of deleting the wrong queue file. The scenario goes
like this:

The Postfix queue manager deletes the file that postsuper was supposed to
delete, because Postfix was finished with the message.

New mail arrives, and the new message is given the same queue ID as the
message that postsuper was supposed to delete. The probability for reusing a
deleted queue ID is about 1 in 215 (the number of different microsecond
values that the system clock can distinguish).

postsuper deletes the new message file, instead of the old file that should
have been deleted.
