POSTFIX-ADD-FILTER(8) System Manager's Manual POSTFIX-ADD-FILTER(8)NAME
postfix-add-filter - add filter service to Postfix master.cf
SYNOPSIS
postfix-add-filter [smtp service name...] [smtpd port...]
DESCRIPTION
The postfix-add-filter(8) command adds an smtp service named smtp service name and and smtpd server listening on smtpd port to etc/post-
fix/master.cf to facilitate integration of SMTP filters such as amavisd-new or clamsmtp. The configuration is based on the upstream recom-
mendations for amavisd-new 2.6.0. Adminstrators should verify it is appropriate for their requirements.
The original file is copied prior to modification and left in /etc/postfix to make it possible to revert changes easily.
Available in the Debian package for Postfix version 2.5.3 and later.
DIAGNOSTICS
If the given smtp service name or smtpd port already appear in the master.cf, a message will be printed to standard out and master.cf will
not be modified.
ENVIRONMENT
MAIL_CONFIG
Directory with Postfix configuration files.
The postfix-add-filter(8) command should use this, but it currently doesn't. It is hard coded to /etc/postfix. This should be
changed.
CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
None
FILES
/etc/postfix/master.cf

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.

showq(8) queue displays.

max_idle (100s)
The maximum amount of time that an idle Postfix daemon process waits for an incoming connection before terminating voluntarily.
