|
<b>postqueue</b> [<b>-v</b>] [<b>-c</b> <i>config</i><b>_</b><i>dir</i>] <b>-s</b> <i>site</i>
|
|
|
|
<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
|
|
The <a href="postqueue.1.html"><b>postqueue</b>(1)</a> command implements the Postfix user interface for
|
|
queue management. It implements operations that are traditionally
|
|
available via the <a href="sendmail.1.html"><b>sendmail</b>(1)</a> command. See the <a href="postsuper.1.html"><b>postsuper</b>(1)</a> command
|
|
for queue operations that require super-user privileges such as delet-
|
|
ing a message from the queue or changing the status of a message.
|
|
|
|
The following options are recognized:
|
|
|
|
<b>-c</b> <i>config</i><b>_</b><i>dir</i>
|
|
The <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> 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 -q</b>" command, by
|
|
contacting the Postfix <a href="qmgr.8.html"><b>qmgr</b>(8)</a> daemon.
|
|
|
|
Warning: flushing undeliverable mail frequently will result in
|
|
poor delivery performance of all other mail.
|
|
|
|
<b>-i</b> <i>queue</i><b>_</b><i>id</i>
|
|
Schedule immediate delivery of deferred mail with the specified
|
|
queue ID.
|
|
|
|
This option implements the traditional <b>sendmail -qI</b> command, by
|
|
contacting the <a href="flush.8.html"><b>flush</b>(8)</a> server.
|
|
|
|
This feature is available with Postfix version 2.4 and later.
|
|
|
|
<b>-p</b> Produce a traditional sendmail-style queue listing. This option
|
|
implements the traditional <b>mailq</b> command, 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 deliv-
|
|
ered. If mail could not be delivered upon the last attempt, the
|
|
reason for failure is shown. 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 deliv-
|
|
ery 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>. A numerical site must be specified as a valid <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5321">RFC</a>
|
|
<a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5321">5321</a> address literal enclosed in [], just like in email
|
|
addresses. The site must be eligible for the "fast flush" ser-
|
|
vice. See <a href="flush.8.html"><b>flush</b>(8)</a> for more information about the "fast flush"
|
|
service.
|
|
|
|
This option implements the traditional "<b>sendmail -qR</b><i>site</i>" com-
|
|
mand, by contacting the Postfix <a href="flush.8.html"><b>flush</b>(8)</a> daemon.
|
|
|
|
<b>-v</b> Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Multiple <b>-v</b>
|
|
options make the software increasingly verbose. As of Postfix
|
|
2.3, this option is available for the super-user only.
|
|
|
|
<b>SECURITY</b>
|
|
This program is designed to run with set-group ID privileges, 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 <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> file. In order to avoid exploitation
|
|
of set-group ID privileges, a non-standard directory is allowed
|
|
only if:
|
|
|
|
<b>o</b> The name is listed in the standard <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> file with the
|
|
<b><a href="postconf.5.html#alternate_config_directories">alternate_config_directories</a></b> configuration parameter.
|
|
|
|
<b>o</b> The command is invoked by the super-user.
