<b>DESCRIPTION</b> |
|
1.1.41
by LaMont Jones
Import upstream version 2.11.0 |
22 |
The Postfix <a href="sendmail.1.html"><b>sendmail</b>(1)</a> command implements the Postfix to Sendmail com- |
23 |
patibility interface. For the sake of compatibility with existing |
|
24 |
applications, some Sendmail command-line options are recognized but |
|
25 |
silently ignored. |
|
26 |
||
27 |
By default, Postfix <a href="sendmail.1.html"><b>sendmail</b>(1)</a> reads a message from standard input |
|
28 |
until EOF or until it reads a line with only a <b>.</b> character, and |
|
29 |
arranges for delivery. Postfix <a href="sendmail.1.html"><b>sendmail</b>(1)</a> relies on the <a href="postdrop.1.html"><b>postdrop</b>(1)</a> |
|
30 |
command to create a queue file in the <b>maildrop</b> directory. |
|
31 |
||
32 |
Specific command aliases are provided for other common modes of opera- |
|
33 |
tion: |
|
34 |
||
35 |
<b>mailq</b> List the mail queue. Each entry shows the queue file ID, message |
|
36 |
size, arrival time, sender, and the recipients that still need |
|
37 |
to be delivered. If mail could not be delivered upon the last |
|
38 |
attempt, the reason for failure is shown. The queue ID string is |
|
39 |
followed by an optional status character: |
|
40 |
||
41 |
<b>*</b> The message is in the <b>active</b> queue, i.e. the message is |
|
42 |
selected for delivery. |
|
43 |
||
44 |
<b>!</b> The message is in the <b>hold</b> queue, i.e. no further deliv- |
|
45 |
ery attempt will be made until the mail is taken off |
|
46 |
hold. |
|
47 |
||
48 |
This mode of operation is implemented by executing the |
|
49 |
<a href="postqueue.1.html"><b>postqueue</b>(1)</a> command. |

Initialize the alias database. If no input file is specified |
53 |
(with the <b>-oA</b> option, see below), the program processes the |
|
54 |
file(s) specified with the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#alias_database">alias_database</a></b> configuration parame- |
|
55 |
ter. If no alias database type is specified, the program uses |
|
56 |
the type specified with the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#default_database_type">default_database_type</a></b> configuration |
|
57 |
parameter. This mode of operation is implemented by running the |
|
58 |
<a href="postalias.1.html"><b>postalias</b>(1)</a> command. |
|
59 |
||
60 |
Note: it may take a minute or so before an alias database update |
|
61 |
becomes visible. Use the "<b>postfix reload</b>" command to eliminate |
|
62 |
this delay. |
|
63 |
||
64 |
These and other features can be selected by specifying the appropriate |
|
65 |
combination of command-line options. Some features are controlled by |
|
66 |
parameters in the <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> configuration file. |

By design, this program is not set-user (or group) id. However, it must |
279 |
handle data from untrusted, possibly remote, users. Thus, the usual |
|
280 |
precautions need to be taken against malicious inputs. |
