   Hello,
   
   I have a machine that was sending outgoing mail and filling up
   mailboxes.  The current solution has been to unplug the ethernet.
   I would prefer to delete the outgoing mail and have the machine
   back on the network though.  Does anyone know if this stored in an
   outbox similar to the /var/spool/mail/ inboxes?
   
   Thanks!
   
Outgoing email is queued in /var/spool/mqueue/

If you are running sendmail you will want to execute the following:

/etc/init.d/sendmail stop; rm -f /var/spool/mqueue; \
/etc/init.d/sendmail start
