SHOWQ(8) System Manager's Manual SHOWQ(8)
NAME
showq - list the Postfix mail queue
SYNOPSIS
showq [generic Postfix daemon options]
DESCRIPTION
The showq(8) daemon reports the Postfix mail queue status. It is the program that emulates the sendmail `mailq' command.
The showq(8) daemon can also be run in stand-alone mode by the superuser. This mode of operation is used to emulate the `mailq' command
while the Postfix mail system is down.
SECURITY
The showq(8) 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.
STANDARDS
None. The showq(8) daemon does not interact with the outside world.
DIAGNOSTICS
Problems and transactions are logged to syslogd(8).
CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
Changes to main.cf are picked up automatically as showq(8) processes run for only a limited amount of time. Use the command "postfix
reload" to speed up a change.
The text below provides only a parameter summary. See postconf(5) for more details including examples.
config_directory (see 'postconf -d' output)
The default location of the Postfix main.cf and master.cf configuration files.
daemon_timeout (18000s)
How much time a Postfix daemon process may take to handle a request before it is terminated by a built-in watchdog timer.
duplicate_filter_limit (1000)
The maximal number of addresses remembered by the address duplicate filter for aliases(5) or virtual(5) alias expansion, or for
showq(8) queue displays.
empty_address_recipient (MAILER-DAEMON)
The recipient of mail addressed to the null address.
ipc_timeout (3600s)
The time limit for sending or receiving information over an internal communication channel.
max_idle (100s)
The maximum amount of time that an idle Postfix daemon process waits for an incoming connection before terminating voluntarily.
max_use (100)
The maximal number of incoming connections that a Postfix daemon process will service before terminating voluntarily.
process_id (read-only)
The process ID of a Postfix command or daemon process.
process_name (read-only)
The process name of a Postfix command or daemon 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".
FILES
/var/spool/postfix, queue directories
SEE ALSO
