Why do I get these mail queue messages in daily.out log?

I did a dumb thing. I wanted to see if the PHP "mail" command would work from my local machine. I wrote a tiny script to send a test message (I use MAMP). The script ran but no mail was ever received. I tried it 4 times and gave up.
I look in my daily.out logs for the past few days and I find that something is trying to send the mail each day. It looks like these 4 mails are sitting in some queue to be sent (probably by sendmail or postfix?)
Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of the 4 items? Where would they be? How can I purge them. I Googled but didn't find anything that looked relevant.
Thanks,
Al

Thanks. Someone wrote me and said to try "postsuper" as shown at:

Have you ever used it? I don't want to hose my computer and I get cold feet messing with Apple's internals.

  • Why do I get a "Transcode Failed" message?

    Dear friends on the forum;
    I have created a complex project in Encore with several levels.  It starts off with an opening menu whose choices are two video files and a link to a sub-menu.  This sub-menu then offers links to several sub-sub menus which, in turn, offer links to a number of video files each.  We are talking a total of 25 movies in all; some short (a minute and a half) some long (90minutes).   The Encore file is on my computer's hard drive and the relevant video files are on an external hard drive, accessed by USB cable.  I have created other DVDs in the past using this arrangement with no trouble.  Why am I having problems now?   Is it because of the complexity of this project?  The total size of these files is about 3 1/2 gb--not too big for the DVD.  I checked the project before clicking "Build" and no problems surfaced.    I am running a Hewlett-Packard HPE-470f computer with a 64-bit Windows 7 o/s.  I have an AMD processor with 3.2 ghz and 8gb of RAM.
    Can anyone help me with this?  Many thanks!
    Regards, Lewis

    That gives me lots of grist for my mill, John.  Thanks!

    Subject: Why do I get a "Transcode Failed" message?
    I skipped from CS3 (Pentium 4 CPU with 2Gig system ram and 2 hard drives... very slow, but it worked OK for AVI files and overnight Encore encoding) to a new computer for CS5 - read http://forums.adobe.com/thread/652694?tstart=0 
    Since upgrading to CS5 from CS5 may mean a new computer, I can't really advise you on that
    The Windows swap or paging file is where Windows puts things that it needs quick access to... sorta like you put your wallet in your pocket instead of in your dresser drawer, so you have it handy to pay at the grocery store
    The idea is to "spread the load" so no one hard drive is working too hard and becomes bogged down
    Video editing, like "high end" gaming, requires a LOT of computing power
    My previous computer worked for CS3 and AVI... I had to build a new computer for CS5 and AVCHD files
    You should (in my opinion) add a 2nd internal 7200rpm hard drive (never a "green" drive... too slow for video editing) and keep your boot drive for only Windows and software... this is the minimum (again, my opinion... but go read in the hardware sub-forum)

    - you need AT LEAST 2 drives for video editing, 3 is better

  • Why do I get the "iwork discontinued" message when I click on the share feature in pages?

    Why do I get the "iwork discontinued" message when I click on the share feature in pages?

    If you are using an older version of iWorks, the sharing was, I understand discontinued in July 2012.
    New versions of the iWorks suite, Pages etc now have the sharing option, introduced earlier this year.

    I've tried resetting my phone, looking for the pics in the new 'deleted' folder. I tried forwarding the jpegs to sees if they'll appear in a new message (but turnout the phone won't let me forward these pics). Apple is trying to say it's the 30 day reason, but I know that is not the problem. ALl of my pics older than 30 days were viewable. It is the upgrade that screwed this up. Help! Important pics!

    As for iPhoto, it sounds like you were trying to move files around in the library. That is a bib no-no in Aperture or iPhoto.

  • Why am I getting this App Store message for the new OS: The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.

    Why am I getting this App Store message:
    The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.

    I had the same problem. Spoke to Apple support who directed me to Itunes support.  Frustrating to say the least.  Some have said remove virus barrier.  I did and still nothing.  Some posts have said to delete App store.  DON'T DO IT.. App store is tuff to get back.  This did work for me. Go to Finder, then go, pick go to folder, type in, /var/folder, and delete (send to trash).  There were 2 folders I had to delete, KX & XX, and as soon as I sent them to the trash they returned but I was able to download & intall Mountain Lion and working well.  Good luck..

    Why am I getting the following error message? "You can’t open the application “Microsoft Word” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."  I never used to have a proble!

    Only Office for Mac 2008 and 2011 will run on Mavericks. Microsoft support for the former package ended in April 2013. If you do not want to spend the money, you might download and try the donation-ware (free) LibreOffice Suite. No ribbon bar crap. Supports about any document created on Windows.

  • Why do I get an "invalid signature" message when trying to download the latest version of iTunes?

    Why do I get an "invalid signature" message when trying to download the latest version of iTunes?  Apple Support is the lamest excuse for support I have EVER seen.

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • Why am I getting unable to purchase message from App Store with free apps

    Why am I getting unable to purchase message from App Store for free apps on my I pad?

    Sign out of your Apple ID, reboot yor iPad and sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes and App Store. Tap your ID and sign out.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Go go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store. Sign in. Try to download the free apps again.

  • Why am I getting these emails?

    Does anyone know why I'm getting spam that is not sent to my address. The mail arrives in my mailbox, but does not have my email address in the recipients address line. It usually has a made up address that has part of my address included in it. This just started happening on my .Mac account a couple of months ago. Is there anything I can do to stop it?
    Matt
    Imac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Hello Matt.
    This indicates the spammer is entering your email address and probably a number of others in the Bcc: field when addressing the message.
    All email addresses placed in the Bcc: field do not appear and are invisible to all recipients. The only addresses that are visible to all recipients are those placed in the To: or Cc: fields.
    Copied from How .Mac filters spam.
    The .Mac mail servers filter spam, but some unwanted messages may still get through.
    No single strategy is completely effective when it comes to managing Unsolicited Bulk Email (UBE), also known as "spam". People who are intent on sending spam are ingenious at coming up with ways around any filtration schemes.
    In addition, see Why was I "spammed" at my .Mac Mail address? which applies to any email account and How HTML Email Messages Relate to Unsolicited Commercial Email ("spam") which applies to any email client such as the Mail.app.

    This only happens whenever I try to access code view, and it won't allow me to add any more code. This is the error message I get:
    "While executing DWMenu_View_Text command in menus.xml, the following JavaScript error(s) occurred:
    Exception thrown in native function"
    A third party tried to access my site, but the page froze, with an error message:
    "Script error on line........."
    I'm not sure if this has something to do with FileZilla, but now when I try to open it, I get number of error messages about, "failed to write xml file" and "Application Data\FileZilla\filezilla.xml (error 5: access is denied.)"
    I've tried deleting the WinFileCache from Dreamweaver and disabled all extensions, but none of these helped.
    Please help. does anyone know what's going on?

    Same error message, I disabled tab mix and made sure I only have the newest version of Java, restarted firefox, now it seems to be fine no error yet on Pogo games or pictures upload to ebay which were the biggest problems besides hanging. I had also had disabled AVG secure search yesterday but that did not solve the issue. Now I will try to add back in AVG search...I have very few adds ons, also the note embedded about re- installing a toolbar went away, my old one did not work with FF4, so I installed Yahoo toolbar but the message still did not go away until I applied this fix. Hopes this helps someone..
