SHOWQ(8postfix)						       SHOWQ(8postfix)

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	 supe‐
       ruser.  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.

       duplicate_filter_limit (1000)
	      The maximal number of addresses remembered by the address dupli‐
