clearing the mail queue on a remote host...?

Is it possible to clear the mail queue?

I'm developing a site on a remote host.

The code works fine and doesn't throw any errors. It was working correctly
up until a couple days ago. Then all mail stopped completely.

As I said, no errors--the mail doesn't arrive in the inbox.

So, is there a way to remotely clear that queue? The host's tech support
seem pretty incompetent and don't know how to fix this.

I even tried the old cdonts for asp3 and it produced no errors, but once
again no mail arrived.

thanks.

Just log into the POP server with Telnet and clear out all the messages
using POP3 commands.

As far as I know, I'm relaying through the smtp server.

I set the server to 'localhost.'

I don't see how I could clear out messages from my account if they were
relayed.

Hi, I am trying to get cdo.message working on my home development machine, however, when I send it it appears to get stuck in the queue and never actually gets sent. If I don't have a domain SMTP set (either alias or remote) then I get an error on page. But if I set these, the email just sits on the queue. I have been trying to work it out from other posts and forums, aspFAQ etc but with no joy.

Hello all, <SIGH> I'm soooooo sick and tired of getting spam e-mails. I'm sure that part of the reson for this is that my e-mail address is publicly available on my website, ready to be picked by e-mail harvesting programs. I tried to thwart them by adding a REMOVE_THIS in my e-mail address (username@REMOVE_THISispname.net), but the e-mails have not stopped. As for NG's, I have the return address blocked in a similar fashion.

Greetings, I have been searching the web like mad for a solution to my SMTP problem. I am using Windows Server 2003 and ASP.NET 2.0 w/ C# to send out e-mails from a web site I have created to the members of my organization.

Hello experts! I'm trying to send mail from my C# Asp.Net webpage. I used the code samples at www.systemnetmail.com but it still won't send. I think the problem is on the iis or exchange server side but I can't find any tutorials on how to configure the server(s). Any good links for this? Any advice is welcome!

Hi all, Is there a way in the pylirc module to either (a) get it to stop listening for a period of time, or (b) clear the queue of any stored up commands? I have a script that starts mplayer, and I use my remote while I'm running mplayer. The shell script waits (subrpocess.Popen.wait()) for the mplayer process to complete, but then it always runs through all the keypresses I've been sending mplayer.
