Qmail Handle
Some post indicate to use qmHandle from Saco, but you are adviced there is a bug
install qmHandle http://www.saco-support.de/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=view&parentcategoryid=3&pcid=0&nav=0 On my system, the following command will remove existing double-bounces from the queue: qmHandle -Sfailure\ notice
And then I run this, to make sure qmHandle hasn't left qmail unstable: /etc/init.d/qmail restart
