POSTQUEUE(1) POSTQUEUE(1)
<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.
<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 super-user 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.
