My MTA is rejecting with a 550 (user does not exist):

Jun  9 06:46:32 paladin postfix/smtpd[24327]: 096FCC4408: reject: RCPT

Indeed I did find related data in these places.

$ tail -1 smtp
Jun 09 06:46:35 2007 (10585)
<20070604205900.3839FC43EC at mail.example.com> smtp to list for 500
recips, completed in 123.168 seconds

$ tail -600 smtp-failure | grep example
Jun 09 06:46:35 2007 (10585) delivery to user at example.com failed with
code -1: Connection unexpectedly closed

$ ls qfiles/retry/
total 340
-rw-rw----  1 _mailman  _mailman   168K Jun  9 06:46
1180990742.5870631+624e43c97588e6d1b02021804f85513e7a31e195.pck

What can I do to stop this delivery?  Just delete the .pck file?

Thank you very much.
