Problem with emails accumulate

[spiderpig]

Hi,

I lost connection with many of our servers today, and email notifications accumulate in queue because there were so many notification i'm getting notification in email even 16 hours later.
do you know how to clear the notification email queue ?

i'm using Nagios core 3

thanx

The emails are probably queued on your mail server, not on your Nagios server I would say. You can verify the mail queue on your Nagios server by issuing the command mailq or postqueue if you don't have mailq and are using postfix.

If the queue is on the Nagios server then with postfix you can use the command postsuper -d ALL to clear it.
