<b>NAME</b>
|
|
postqueue - Postfix queue control
|
|
|
|
<b>SYNOPSIS</b>
|
|
<b>postqueue</b> [<b>-c</b> <i>config_dir</i>] <b>-f</b>
|
|
<b>postqueue</b> [<b>-c</b> <i>config_dir</i>] <b>-p</b>
|
|
<b>postqueue</b> [<b>-c</b> <i>config_dir</i>] <b>-s</b> <i>site</i>
|
|
|
|
<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
|
|
The <b>postqueue</b> program implements the Postfix user inter-
|
|
face for queue management. It implements all the opera-
|
|
tions that are traditionally available via the <a href="sendmail.1.html"><b>sendmail</b>(1)</a>
|
|
command.
|
|
|
|
The following options are recognized:
|
|
|
|
<b>-c</b> <i>config_dir</i>
|
|
The <b>main.cf</b> configuration file is in the named
|
|
directory instead of the default configuration
|
|
directory. See also the MAIL_CONFIG environment
|
|
setting below.
|
|
|
|
<b>-f</b> Flush the queue: attempt to deliver all queued
|
|
mail.
|
|
|
|
This option implements the traditional <b>sendmail</b> <b>-q</b>
|
|
command, by contacting the Postfix <a href="qmgr.8.html"><b>qmgr</b>(8)</a> daemon.
|
|
|
|
<b>-p</b> Produce a traditional sendmail-style queue listing.
|
|
This option implements the traditional <b>mailq</b> com-
|
|
mand, by contacting the Postfix <a href="showq.8.html"><b>showq</b>(8)</a> daemon.
|
|
|
|
Each queue entry shows the queue file ID, message
|
|
size, arrival time, sender, and the recipients that
|
|
still need to be delivered. If mail could not be
|
|
delivered upon the last attempt, the reason for
|
|
failure is shown. This mode of operation is imple-
|
|
mented by executing the <a href="postqueue.1.html"><b>postqueue</b>(1)</a> command. The
|
|
queue ID string is followed by an optional status
|
|
character:
|
|
|
|
<b>*</b> The message is in the <b>active</b> queue, i.e. the
|
|
message is selected for delivery.
|
|
|
|
<b>!</b> The message is in the <b>hold</b> queue, i.e. no
|
|
further delivery attempt will be made until
|
|
the mail is taken off hold.
|
|
|
|
<b>-s</b> <i>site</i>
|
|
Schedule immediate delivery of all mail that is
|
|
queued for the named <i>site</i>. The site must be eligi-
|
|
ble for the "fast flush" service. See <a href="flushd.8.html"><b>flush</b>(8)</a> for
|
|
more information about the "fast flush" service.
|
|
|
|
This option implements the traditional <b>sendmail</b>
|
|
<b>-qR</b><i>site</i> command, by contacting the Postfix <a href="flushd.8.html"><b>flush</b>(8)</a>
|
|
daemon.
|
|
|
|
<b>-v</b> Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Mul-
|
|
tiple <b>-v</b> options make the software increasingly
|
|
verbose.
|
|
|
|
<b>SECURITY</b>
|
|
This program is designed to run with set-group ID privi-
|
|
leges, so that it can connect to Postfix daemon processes.
|
|
|
|
<b>DIAGNOSTICS</b>
|
|
Problems are logged to <b>syslogd</b>(8) and to the standard
|
|
error stream.
|
|
|
|
<b>ENVIRONMENT</b>
|
|
MAIL_CONFIG
|
|
Directory with the <b>main.cf</b> file.
|
|
|
|
In order to avoid exploitation of set-group ID
|
|
privileges, it is not possible to specify arbitrary
|
|
directory names.
|
|
|
|
A non-standard directory is allowed only if the
|
|
name is listed in the standard <b>main.cf</b> file, in the
|
|
<b>alternate</b><i>_</i><b>config</b><i>_</i><b>directories</b> configuration parame-
|
|
ter value.
|
|
|
|
Only the superuser is allowed to specify arbitrary
|
|
directory names.
|
|
|
|
<b>FILES</b>
|
|
/var/spool/postfix, mail queue
|
|
/etc/postfix, configuration files
|
|
|
|
<b>CONFIGURATION</b> <b>PARAMETERS</b>
|
|
<b>import</b><i>_</i><b>environment</b>
|
|
List of names of environment parameters that can be
|
|
imported from non-Postfix processes.
|
|
|
|
<b>queue</b><i>_</i><b>directory</b>
|
|
Top-level directory of the Postfix queue. This is
|
|
also the root directory of Postfix daemons that run
|
|
chrooted.
|

<b>fast</b><i>_</i><b>flush</b><i>_</i><b>domains</b>
|
|
List of domains that will receive "fast flush" ser-
|
|
vice (default: all domains that this system is
|

willing to relay mail to). This list specifies the

domains that Postfix accepts in the SMTP <b>ETRN</b>
|
|
request and in the <b>sendmail</b> <b>-qR</b> command.
