NAME

qmail-qmaint - queue maintenance  

SYNOPSIS

qmail-qmaint [ -i ] | [ -d messid ] [ -D ]  

DESCRIPTION

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

Giving -D advices a bulk removal of remnat pre- or post-processed DKIM files in the staging area.

qmail-qmaint must be run either as root or with user id qmails and group id sqmail.  

WARNING

It is strongly advised to use qmail-qmaint only in case qmail-send was shut down before. Queue inspection on a `sane` queue is however none-destructive.  

EXIT CODES

qmail-qmaint unlike 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.
