Next message: Victor Duchovni: "Re: Programmatic access to the showq daemon/data"
Hi,
Is there any kind of documentation on how to access the mail queue list
from within a program? Perl or C would be nice!
I ask because I have a number of mail servers that regularly have mail
queues > 300,000 emails and a lot of these queues are bounces and
double-bounces. Right now I have a simple script that someone wrote
(possibly it even came with the Postfix installation since I didn't
perform the installation) which runs the "postqueue -p" command,
grep/awks out the message ID of the unwanted emails and runs "postsuper
-d" for each ID.
The postqueue(1) command takes the longest to run so is the most obvious
starting point for trying to speed this process up, and it struck me
that if I could write a program that could directly access the mail
queue and get the IDs of the unwanted emails that way, it might be
quicker.
Is there anything that might give me some pointers in this direction?
