.SH SYNOPSIS

|
|
\fBshowq\fR [generic Postfix daemon options]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.ad
|
|
.fi
|
|
The \fBshowq\fR daemon reports the Postfix mail queue status.
|
|
It is the program that emulates the sendmail `mailq' command.
|
|
|
|
The \fBshowq\fR daemon can also be run in stand-alone mode
|
|
by the super-user. This mode of operation is used to emulate
|
|
the `mailq' command while the Postfix mail system is down.

|
|
The \fBshowq\fR daemon can run in a chroot jail at fixed low
|
|
privilege, and takes no input from the client. Its service port
|
|
is accessible to local untrusted users, so the service can be
|
|
susceptible to denial of service attacks.
|
|
.SH STANDARDS
|

|

|
|
None. The showq daemon does not interact with the outside world.
|
|
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.ad
|
|
.fi
|
|
Problems and transactions are logged to \fBsyslogd\fR(8).
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
.ad
|
|
.fi
|
|
The \fBshowq\fR daemon runs at a fixed low privilege; consequently,
|
|
it cannot extract information from queue files in the
|
|
\fBmaildrop\fR directory.
