showq

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 recipient of mail addressed to the null address.

       ipc_timeout (3600s)
