qmail-qmaint \- queue maintenance
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B qmail-qmaint 
[
.I -i
]
|
[
.I -d messid 
]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B qmail-qmaint
inspects 
.B s/qmail's
queue and validates its consistancy.
In 
.I -i 
interactive mode, individual fixes 
can be commanded.
Queue maintanence also allows to remove
particular messages from the queue referencing their
.I messid 
as given by
.B qmail-qread
(without the leading pound sign '#') by means of
.IR -d\ messid .
Here, only pre-processed and bounce messages are taken
into consideration.

.B qmail-qmaint
must be run either as root or with user id 
.I qmails 
and group id 
.IR sqmail .
.SH "WARNING"
It is strongly advised to use
.B qmail-qmaint 
only in case 
.B qmail-send
was shut down before. Queue inspection on a `sane` queue
is however none-destructive.
.SH "EXIT CODES"
.B qmail-qmaint
unlike
.B qmail-queue
prints diagnostics messages.
It exits
0 if
it has successfully inspected the queue
or the message has been deleted.
It may exit 
99 in case of a warning, or
100 if an operation can not be completed, or
110 if a directory can not be accessed.

written be Eric Huss.
