Some spammer sent some messages with a FROM address of one of my spamtraps. These get stuck in the queue. cancelmsg will still not get rid of them because it keeps trying to send the notice to the spamtrap address.

Perhaps these should be automatically discarded?

I assume they will eventually timeout?

Yes, but after they time out a bounce will be generated. If the bounce ends up going to the same place, you're back to square one.

You should examine your bounce process. Whatever you're doing, your bounces should have a null envelope sender, so that a double-bounce gets flushed.
