Re: [vcf-midatlantic] clearing the queue in VMS 5.2 (or thereabouts)

I have a process that is filling the queue on my MicroVAX using VMS 5.2. When I run
$ show queue
The system returns a huge list of queued up items. I am having trouble identifying where to turn off whatever it is that is unable to clear the queue. I am running out of diskspace. I posted the queue here in a log file:
http://www.vintagecomputer.net/digital/MicroVAX-3100/show_queue.txt
This line looks suspect:
LPD queue on 10.36.1.11
My network internally is 10.1.10./ like most Comcast Business customers. I don't have any LPD anyway, no need to print or connect to anything.
I don't want to simply delete the queue in the event I harm something. Maybe someone can advise with this at VCF East, I will be exhibiting this machine there.
I see SMTP items. Take a look at the actual server queue with: $ SHOW QUEUE/FULL SMTP_COBUCK The entry in the queue might shed some light. It's very likely you have MULTINET SMTP configured incorrectly for your environment.

I was planning next to check START_SMTP.COM (which is invoked from START_MULTINET.COM) . Here is the output, note *MISSING* is the name I gave the directory by accident when I installed MULTINET, I don't think other than the name it's an issue, but I thought I'd mention. COBUCK$DKA700:[*MISSING*.VAX_COMMON.MULTINET.SPOOL] I am being conservative about making any changes to this system this close to VCF East, but maybe we can talk about cleaning up the configs on Sat or Sunday if you have time. $ SHOW QUEUE/FULL SMTP_COBUCK Server queue SMTP_COBUCK, busy, on COBUCK::, mounted form DEFAULT /BASE_PRIORITY=4 /DEFAULT=(FEED,FORM=DEFAULT) /OWNER=[SYSTEM] /PROCESSOR=MULTINET_SMTP_SYMBIONT /PROTECTION=(S:RWE,O:RWD,G:R,W:R) Entry Jobname Username Blocks Status ----- ------- -------- ------ ------ 785 SMTP-RETURN SYSTEM 9 Processing Submitted 1-APR-2016 09:19 /FORM=DEFAULT /PRIORITY=100 File: _COBUCK$DKA700:[MISSING.VAX_COMMON.MULTINET.SPOOL]SMTP-RETURN.000 (processing) /DELETE Bill
