How do you stop mail that is already queued from being sent?
I've got about 5400 e-mails in mailq that I want to stop
delivery on.

(by the time this gets posted and anyone responds it will
 probably be too late, but at least I'll know for next time.)

I'm pretty new (obviously) at running freebsd.  I've looked
at the man pages for mailq, majordomo, and sendmail and
can't find a way to kill the queue.

Thanks,

Robert Kesten
