PROGRAM:
NAME
postqueue - Postfix queue control
SYNOPSIS
To flush the mail queue:
postqueue [-v] [-c config_dir] -f
postqueue [-v] [-c config_dir] -i queue_id
postqueue [-v] [-c config_dir] -s site
To list the mail queue:
postqueue [-v] [-c config_dir] -j
postqueue [-v] [-c config_dir] -p
DESCRIPTION
The postqueue(1) command implements the Postfix user interface for queue management. It
implements operations that are traditionally available via the sendmail(1) command. See
the postsuper(1) command for queue operations that require super-user privileges such as
deleting a message from the queue or changing the status of a message.
The following options are recognized:
-c config_dir
The main.cf configuration file is in the named directory instead of the default
configuration directory. See also the MAIL_CONFIG environment setting below.
-f Flush the queue: attempt to deliver all queued mail.
This option implements the traditional "sendmail -q" command, by contacting the
Postfix qmgr(8) daemon.
Warning: flushing undeliverable mail frequently will result in poor delivery
performance of all other mail.
-i queue_id
Schedule immediate delivery of deferred mail with the specified queue ID.
This option implements the traditional sendmail -qI command, by contacting the
flush(8) server.
This feature is available with Postfix version 2.4 and later.
-j Produce a queue listing in JSON format, based on output from the showq(8) daemon.
The result is a stream of zero or more JSON objects, one per queue file. Each
object is followed by a newline character to support simple streaming parsers. See
"JSON OBJECT FORMAT" below for details.
This feature is available in Postfix 3.1 and later.
-p Produce a traditional sendmail-style queue listing. This option implements the
traditional mailq command, by contacting the Postfix showq(8) 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. The queue ID string is
followed by an optional status character:
* The message is in the active queue, i.e. the message is selected for
delivery.
! The message is in the hold queue, i.e. no further delivery attempt will be
made until the mail is taken off hold.
-s site
Schedule immediate delivery of all mail that is queued for the named site. A
numerical site must be specified as a valid RFC 5321 address literal enclosed in
[], just like in email addresses. The site must be eligible for the "fast flush"
service. See flush(8) for more information about the "fast flush" service.
This option implements the traditional "sendmail -qRsite" command, by contacting
the Postfix flush(8) daemon.
-v Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Multiple -v options make the
software increasingly verbose. As of Postfix 2.3, this option is available for the
super-user only.
JSON OBJECT FORMAT
Each JSON object represents one queue file; it is emitted as a single text line followed
by a newline character.
Object members have string values unless indicated otherwise. Programs should ignore
object members that are not listed here; the list of members is expected to grow over
time.
queue_name
The name of the queue where the message was found. Note that the contents of the
mail queue may change while it is being listed; some messages may appear more than
once, and some messages may be missed.
queue_id
The queue file name. The queue_id may be reused within a Postfix instance unless
"enable_long_queue_ids = true" and time is monotonic. Even then, the queue_id is
not expected to be unique between different Postfix instances. Management tools
that require a unique name should combine the queue_id with the myhostname setting
of the Postfix instance.
arrival_time
The number of seconds since the start of the UNIX epoch.
message_size
The number of bytes in the message header and body. This number does not include
message envelope information. It is approximately equal to the number of bytes that
would be transmitted via SMTP including the <CR><LF> line endings.
sender The envelope sender address.
recipients
An array containing zero or more objects with members:
address
One recipient address.
delay_reason
If present, the reason for delayed delivery. Delayed recipients may have no
delay reason, for example, while delivery is in progress, or after the
system was stopped before it could record the reason.
SECURITY
This program is designed to run with set-group ID privileges, so that it can connect to
Postfix daemon processes.
STANDARDS
RFC 7159 (JSON notation)
DIAGNOSTICS
Problems are logged to syslogd(8) and to the standard error stream.
ENVIRONMENT
MAIL_CONFIG
Directory with the main.cf file. In order to avoid exploitation of set-group ID
privileges, a non-standard directory is allowed only if:
· The name is listed in the standard main.cf file with the
alternate_config_directories configuration parameter.
· The command is invoked by the super-user.
CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
The following main.cf parameters are especially relevant to this program. The text below
provides only a parameter summary. See postconf(5) for more details including examples.
alternate_config_directories (empty)
A list of non-default Postfix configuration directories that may be specified with
"-c config_directory" on the command line, or via the MAIL_CONFIG environment
parameter.
config_directory (see 'postconf -d' output)
The default location of the Postfix main.cf and master.cf configuration files.
command_directory (see 'postconf -d' output)
The location of all postfix administrative commands.
fast_flush_domains ($relay_domains)
Optional list of destinations that are eligible for per-destination logfiles with
mail that is queued to those destinations.
import_environment (see 'postconf -d' output)
The list of environment parameters that a Postfix process will import from a
non-Postfix parent process.
queue_directory (see 'postconf -d' output)
The location of the Postfix top-level queue directory.
syslog_facility (mail)
The syslog facility of Postfix logging.
syslog_name (see 'postconf -d' output)
The mail system name that is prepended to the process name in syslog records, so
that "smtpd" becomes, for example, "postfix/smtpd".
trigger_timeout (10s)
The time limit for sending a trigger to a Postfix daemon (for example, the
pickup(8) or qmgr(8) daemon).
Available in Postfix version 2.2 and later:
authorized_flush_users (static:anyone)
List of users who are authorized to flush the queue.
authorized_mailq_users (static:anyone)
List of users who are authorized to view the queue.
