It implements operations that are +traditionally available via the \fBsendmail\fR(1) command. +See the \fBpostsuper\fR(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: +.IP "\fB\-c \fIconfig_dir\fR" +The \fBmain.cf\fR configuration file is in the named directory +instead of the default configuration directory. See also the +MAIL_CONFIG environment setting below. +.IP \fB\-f\fR +Flush the queue: attempt to deliver all queued mail. + +This option implements the traditional "\fBsendmail \-q\fR" command, +by contacting the Postfix \fBqmgr\fR(8) daemon. + +Warning: flushing undeliverable mail frequently will result in +poor delivery performance of all other mail. +.IP "\fB\-i \fIqueue_id\fR" +Schedule immediate delivery of deferred mail with the +specified queue ID. + +This option implements the traditional \fBsendmail \-qI\fR +command, by contacting the \fBflush\fR(8) server. + +This feature is available with Postfix version 2.4 and later. +.IP "\fB\-j\fR" +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 "\fBJSON OBJECT FORMAT\fR" below for details. + +This feature is available in Postfix 3.1 and later. +.IP \fB\-p\fR +Produce a traditional sendmail\-style queue listing. +This option implements the traditional \fBmailq\fR command, +by contacting the Postfix \fBshowq\fR(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: +.RS +.IP \fB*\fR +The message is in the \fBactive\fR queue, i.e. the message is +selected for delivery. +.IP \fB!\fR +The message is in the \fBhold\fR queue, i.e. no further delivery +attempt will be made until the mail is taken off hold. +.RE +.IP "\fB\-s \fIsite\fR" +Schedule immediate delivery of all mail that is queued for the named +\fIsite\fR. 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 \fBflush\fR(8) for more information about the "fast flush" +service. + +This option implements the traditional "\fBsendmail \-qR\fIsite\fR" +command, by contacting the Postfix \fBflush\fR(8) daemon. +.IP \fB\-v\fR +Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Multiple \fB\-v\fR +options make the software increasingly verbose. As of Postfix 2.3, +this option is available for the super\-user only. +.SH "JSON OBJECT FORMAT" +.na +.nf +.ad +.fi +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. +.IP \fBqueue_name\fR +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. +.IP \fBqueue_id\fR +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. +.IP \fBarrival_time\fR +The number of seconds since the start of the UNIX epoch. +.IP \fBmessage_size\fR +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 line endings. +.IP \fBsender\fR +The envelope sender address. +.IP \fBrecipients\fR +An array containing zero or more objects with members: +.RS +.IP \fBaddress\fR +One recipient address. +.IP \fBdelay_reason\fR +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. +.RE +.SH "SECURITY" +.na +.nf +.ad +.fi +This program is designed to run with set\-group ID privileges, so +that it can connect to Postfix daemon processes. +.SH "STANDARDS" +.na +.nf +RFC 7159 (JSON notation) +.SH DIAGNOSTICS +.ad +.fi +Problems are logged to \fBsyslogd\fR(8) or \fBpostlogd\fR(8), +and to the standard error stream. +.SH "ENVIRONMENT" +.na +.nf +.ad +.fi +.IP MAIL_CONFIG +Directory with the \fBmain.cf\fR file.
