Accidentally looped mail() in PHP! Been getting emails since last night. How do I stop it?

Question

Yup, I did the stupidest of stupid acts. I looped mail() accidentally and now, since 8:30 last night, I have gotten nearly 2000 emails from my server.

He claims to have rebooted it, but I still get the emails.. I can tell they were sent a while ago because the email's content is about 24 hours outdated.

How do I stop this!

Answer 1

您需要像这样从队列中删除所有电子邮件：

ls /var/spool/mqueue | xargs rm

Answer 2

Delete the php file from you server and wait. The e-mails maybe delayed because of the amount.
