Mail problems
Over the years I've learned to use Telnet to unclog stuck pipes for folks with choked mail software. Example given here is for POP, IMAP folks will have to read the appropriate RFC. For POP, Telnet to port 110 of your mail machine. Type in "USER yourusername", hit enter, type in "PASS your password", enter again. At this point you should get a prompt giving you some status information. "TOP" takes two arguments, the message, and the number of lines from the body of the message to show. So "TOP 1 20" will show you the headers and the first 20 lines from the message clogging the queue. "DELE 1" will delete that message, and "QUIT" will finalize the process.
